I've installed SMS 1.3 on four servers now. Really like the features of 1.3.

I've noticed a problem from the first time I have installed sms. If you use netconfig to setup hostname and network parameters, it sets the hostname and ip but on eth0. Which means you can not connect to network. eth0 seems to be reserved for DHCP connections.

So, you have to manually edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf and move ip from eth0 to eth1. Then logout and everything is correct. This seems to make netconfig moot for setup.

I suspect this is a slackware issue and not really a sms issue.

eth0 by default has
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
but if you use netconfig and choose "static IP" then you will have
USE_DHCP[0]=""
Have you try restarting your server and got no traffic on eth0 or eth0 was down?

When you choose static ip in netconfig, it writes the ip to eth0. I know this by looking at /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.

Upon restarting network services there is no connectivity. All setings in /etc/hosts, /etc/HOSTNAME, and /etc/resolv.conf are correct. But no connectivity.

If I change the ip to eth1, then I have connectivity. This happens on every system that I install on with netconfig.

there is also /etc/resolv.conf-eth0.sv
I'm surprised cause I'm using eth0 on all my slackware systems including SMS.
Try "ifconfig eth0 down"
then "netconfig" or edit your /etc/rc.d/inet1.conf
do a
"/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart && /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 && /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2"
and if you type 'ifconfig" you should have your eth0 configuration up and working with your new settings.
