+.TH "NETCONFIG" "8" "21 July 2023" "System Manager\&'s Manual " "System Manager\&'s Manual "
+.SH NAME
+
+.PP
+netconfig
+presents dialog boxes that ask the system operator for facts
+about this node\&'s network configuration, such as host name, domain, IP address
+(or how to get it), router, and name server. It can optionally probe the node
+for its network card.
+.PP
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.PP
+/sbin/netconfig
+.PP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.PP
+The information requested from the operator includes:
+.TP
+.B *
+hostname,
+.TP
+.B *
+domain name,
+.TP
+.B *
+VLAN,
+.TP
+.B *
+configuration type (static, dynamic, etc.),
+.TP
+.B *
+IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and router addresses,
+.TP
+.B *
+name server, and
+.TP
+.B *
+probe for network card (yes/no).
+.PP
+It summarizes the responses given and confirms with the operator before
+configuring the node.
+.PP
+The files modified or overwritten, when applicable, are:
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/HOSTNAME
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/hosts
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/networks
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/resolv.conf
+.TP
+.B *
+/etc/rc.netdevice
+.PP
+Plus, it enables /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager
+to run during multiuser
+startup, again when applicable.
+.PP
+The Slackware boot disk runs netconfig
+as part of operating system setup,
+and the system operator can re\-run netconfig
+any time later.
+.PP
+Note that many of the changes made by netconfig
+take effect only when
+the system is next rebooted.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.PP
+netconfig
+does not take arguments.
