   How do you correctly config the inet dir? There are a ton of files with
the domain.* info in them, I have changed all of them over from softland to
camaro (My site name), but I still can't ping camaro or talk.
 
   Upon bootup, I get the message ioctl() invalid arugment, which is the
config $ipaddr etc line, of course, I don't have 'eth0' in the dev dir...as
I just wish to use the loopback...do I still have to create an eth0?
 
  I have the latest tcpip.taz from sls and 0.99.1. Ping loopback works
great and so does ping 127.0.0.1 and ping 111.111.111.1, which is the
address I setup for camaro from the install.net script.
 
                                Any ideas?
 
P.S. How do you make the eth0 file ? (Mknod)?
