NO ... you do not need to edit the profiles as well if you edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files by hand. I edited the ifcfg-eth0
file there and it changed all the files (in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles
... it seems the files are hard links to the original. It might be a
good idea to _check_ the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/netowrking/devices
and /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles though).

My RHCT tutor said that redhat-config-network uses profiles, so if I then go
and edit the network files by hand I would have to then also edit the
network files for the profile that redhat-config-created.
I can see on my machine that their is a profiles directory so I have no
reason to disbelieve what my tutor told me, however if I was to use
redhat-config-network do I really have to then edit the profile files if I
manually edit the network files ?
Just to clarify, I won't be using redhat-config-network anyway, but I'd like
this issue clearing up before I go for the RHCE.
The RHCE study book I have doesn't mention the profiles stuff - not yet
anyway.
Many thanks
Nick.</I></FONT></PRE>
