They appear to be copies of the basic networking files: find /etc/syconfig/networking: /etc/sysconfig/networking /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-lo Someone on another list suggested that these were hard links, but the ls command does not show this, although some of them have the same inode number. So that answers my question as to how they got there and why. BFD
