In /var/run/sysconfig there appears to be a file called if-eth1 with permissions such that root cannot list it, remove, or do anything else with it. Any attempt gives a "Permission denied" message. Any suggestions on how to move it out of the twilight zone? TIA, Jeffrey

If root cannot even ls it, odds are you have file system corruption. Did you recently have a crash? If I were you I'd boot from the rescue system and run "reiserfsck --fix-fixable" (I'm guessing you're using reiserfs, it seems to be common in these cases)

This is a clean install. I can try the above suggestion. Jeffrey

That fixed the problem. Scary that ReiserFS messed itself in under 24 hours with no crashes. Jeffrey

Would you show us the output of "ls -lb /var/run/sysconfig" and "mount" before we hypothesize further?
