does anybody know of a graphical or ncurses based network configuration
tool other than netconfig for slackware 9.1. an app like the one in
red hat would be nice, i was under the impression that it was part of
gnome, but i cant find it in slack or mandrake so obv not.

any ideas?

TIA

vi /etc/rc.d/rc.init1.conf

you can set up your first interface with netconfig, then simply look how the
changes look in /etc/rc.d/rc/init1.conf

You edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, which requires editing of only 2 lines
for each interface.

# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
#
# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").

# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]="192.168.0.3"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Config information for eth1:

NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]=""

# Config information for eth2:
