The files in /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ should directly emulate what is your used configuration, otherwise upon reboot you could lose your current settings, as I believe it loads your configs from that directory. I created a script awhile back that syncs up my current networking configs to that directory, and it runs every hour, so I won't by accident lose the settings if I have a system crash, or such a thing.

Greetings - I upgraded the kernel on my RHEL 3 file server last week and am now at 2.4.21-37.ELsmp. I was previously at the stock 2.4.21-4.ELsmp kernel. The results of the up2date process appeared to go well at the time. Now I have noticed that I am not receiving the daily email notifications for Logwatch and my tape backup software. I looked at my /etc/host file and saw that it was the same as it was before updating my kernel. I checked some of my reference manuals and one mentioned that it referenced the location of the host file in /etc/sysconfig directory. I found a host file at /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/host. I don't know if this host file was there previous to my kernel upgrade. This host file is different than the one in /etc/host which I had previously configured for our network. Can anyone tell me which one I should have configured for my network? Is it possible that the new kernel looks for the host file under the /etc/sysconfig directory whereas the old kernel looked for it under just the /etc directory? Thanks.
