[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 10.3 network script issue

[David Simmons]

Guess the first question should be - "What are you trying to
do?".....if the answer is to have DNS searches point to your local
cache first.....list it as a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

If
you're trying to under-stand the inner workings of the SuSE
universe...that might be tricker?

Unfortunately, something is getting ignored here.  Specifically, the

/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/oldnet2new.sh

I've noticed;
