.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.

The files modified or overwritten, when applicable, are:

/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.

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.
