Hi, I accidentally found that the existence of a file e.g. named ifcfg-eth1:1 put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ leads to the appropriate interface being created even with the option 'ONBOOT' set to 'no': DEVICE="eth1:1" BOOTPROTO="static" NM_CONTROLLED="no" ONBOOT="no" TYPE="Ethernet" IPADDR=12.34.56.78 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 Is that intended behaviour? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
