Blank Network config in GUI but configured

[star26bsd]

I accidentally edited /etc/network/interfaces manually and directly. Now the GUI doesn't show any network config, however, all networks are set up properly since the interfaces file does exist. But I fail to force the GUI to reread that file. Tried renaming interfaces to interfaces.new and reboot, no luck. Any ideas? Almost the same net config does work on another node ...

Please can you post that file?

Yes, sure.

That file works for me. I can see all devices on the GUI.

Great! It also does for me on the other node. So how do I find out where the glitch is?

Cheers,

Any hint in /var/log/syslog?

Re: Blank Network config in GUI but configured [SOLVED]

I found the issue. Epic fail. Since I've set a umask of 027 and freshly copied the interfaces file from my other node, the permissions were set to 640 root/root only, so that the GUI wasn't able to read that file. Sorry for the noise. However, is there a log file where the GUI logs its actions? Would be helpful sometimes...

Thanks!
Stephan

Errors should be logged into /var/log/syslog
