OK, I've asked this one before and now I have to ask it again. Does anyone know what the RedHat6* equivalent are of the rc.inet1 and 2 files that run at boot time from /etc/inittab? rc.inet1 seems to be the file for configuring the basic network interface.
Thanks, Jenny.

/etc/init.d/rc.d I think - they are called from rc[0-6].d directories with either a K (kill) or S (start) signal.

/etc/rc.d/rc*.d/S??network
*=your run level most people do 3 or 5
then you have:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?
setup static/DHCP here
then
/etc/conf.modules (modules for NIC)

Gorgeous! Thanks! I'm about to get radical and create an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file out of thin air and see if it does the job. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
So it's better to configure network stuff at this level rather than rc.local then? Or does it not make much difference.
