Marius, the man page for netconfig does not mention resolv.conf.netconfig. How about adding a note like:
"In some cases, netconfig will not overwrite foo.conf and will save the data to foo.conf.netconfig instead. Use netconfig update -f to overwrite foo.conf." (FIXME: would simply "mv foo.conf.netconfig foo.conf" work? If not, why?)
Yes, it should be added to the man page. Yes, basically the "mv foo.conf.netconfig foo.conf" just works. Problem is to know which "foo" :-) In case of DNS, this could be the /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf. So "netconfig update -f" is the better. The feature #306274 (comment #4) will allow to select/filter the operation scope by (module name or) module group basis: netconfig update -m dns -f will "make the mv" for all currently required files without to touch e.g. NIS where the user maybe wants to keep his manual adjustments. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
