The Individual Systems
The tuna.fish.net system (which runs OpenLinux) is used as an example. The TCP/IP configuration for Caldera OpenLinux and Red Hat is held in the /etc/sysconfig/ network-scripts directory.

Assuming that tuna.fish.net only has one Ethernet interface, Listing 30.2 shows the contents of its ifcfg-eth0 file.
