-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, For the shell use the chsh command to change the shell for the current user, or as root `chsh username` of the user for which the shell must be changed e.g. chsh user1 The command will prompt you for the default shell which must be set for user1. As for the network configuration (in 13.1 and earlier) there is a switch in yast network settings which determines how the network interfaces are managed. It's in the Global Options Tab in console mode, but must be at the same place in the GUI. By switching to Traditional Method with ifup you can manage the settings for the network interfaces via yast or the files under /etc/sysconfig/network/ Best Regards, I.

I would like to know how to change the settings in openSuse without causing damage. I looked at yast, but it declares these are managed by NetworkManager. I looked at a couple of the network manager applets, but did not see how to proceed.
I wish to change my ports from DHCP to static. I need to be able to add name servers etc. when I do this. I would also like to be able to tell the system what the password for my Wi-Fi is so that it does not prompt me all of the time. I think NetworkManager needs to be shut down to make these changes. But how does one do that. I tried disabling it in services but that did not appear to work.
I would also like to know how to modify user parameters, such as the default shell, without breaking the system. I used a command line tool (forgot which one:-( and nobody was able to log into the system. I assume the damn check sums were not updated correctly.
It used to be so easy to just edit /etc/passwd, or /etc/networking to make these changes.
Thanks, Don
