I am running Red Hat 9. I have created two different network profiles. One
for home and one for the office. When I try to switch between by using the
network device tool, the program crashes. Here's the ouput of the crash
that I was asked to send to Red Hat.Do Red Hat employees read the
newsgroups or is there anyone here that has a bugzilla account with them
and can forward the bug report?

TIA. Debugging info follows:

I cannot help you with the bug problem.

What I did was create a script to overwrite network files
with fn_home or fn_work and run
service network restart
to pickup the new values

I would configure and get the network running and copy the files
to the network holding directory.


Example:

case $1 in
home) _who=_home ;;
work) _who=_work ;;
*) echo " "
echo "invalid first argument ($1)"
echo "Usage: call home"
echo " call work"
echo " "
exit 1
esac

_nw=/site/network # location of work/home network files

/sbin/route del default # delete current route

/bin/cp $(_nw)/hosts$(_who) /etc/hosts
/bin/cp $(_nw)/resolv.conf$(_who) /etc/resolv.conf
/bin/cp $(_nw)/ifcfg-eth0$(_who) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/bin/cp $(_nw)/network$(_who) /etc/sysconfig/network
service network restart
