7.11-12-13 Configuring the localnet Script

Ok, this looks like another thing I want to learn. The meaning of network.So, what is the name of my computer. Does it have to be the same as my current OS? Use hostname to find it.
 root:/etc/sysconfig# hostname
 nameofmycomputer

echo "HOSTNAME=nameofmycomputer; /etc/sysconfig/network

root:/etc/sysconfig# more network
HOSTNAME=nameofmycomputer


Now, try this
root:/etc/sysconfig# IP_address rose.lfs.org rose_lfs
outputs bash: IP_address: command not found

Ok, just do the  cat command in the documentation. I chose the 192.168.1.1 because I want to work with apache eventually and this will help me understand that.  192.168.1.1 rose.lfs.org rose_lfs

root:/etc# more hosts

# Begin /etc/hosts (network card version)

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 rose.lfs.org rose_lfs
# End /etc/hosts (network card version)

 I have only one network card.

root:/sys/class/net# ls -l

total 0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Jun 17 12:47 eth0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Jun 17 12:47 lo

Running the for NIC loop does not give me the  70-persistent-net.rules file.

Try, LW

$INTERFACE=eth0 udevadm test --action=add eth0

unable to open device '/syseth0'
oops, try this. (from the lfs mailing list)

$INTERFACE=/sys/class/net/eth0 udevadm test --action=add /sys/class/net/eth0

The mailing list I was reading did not come up with a solution, alas. I am going to skip it. This is the output of the for command:

 udev_rules_new: rules use 11472 bytes tokens (956 * 12 bytes), 7523 bytes buffer

On my regular OS, there is a file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules
# more /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules

# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
