Hi,

On one of our systems we have the following network adapters :

The question I have is regarding eth0:1 and eth0:2.  I can't see where they
are defined ...

[root at optest01 networking]# cd /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/
[root at optest01 devices]# ls -la
total 40
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 21 10:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 25 09:18 ..
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root  277 Dec 18 16:57 ifcfg-eth0
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root  222 Dec 18 16:57 ifcfg-eth1
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root  175 Dec 18 16:57 ifcfg-eth2

Not there??  If I start up system-config-network, it doesn't show them.  Can
someone give me a clue as to where they might be hiding?

Thanks,

Steve
