Interesting, <br />
<br />
We have a setup where we have over 100 profiles in /etc/sysconfig/networking/<wbr />profiles and each profile has its own hosts file which overwrites etc/hosts when its applied. <br />
<br />
I just noticed the hosts file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scr<wbr />ipts/ wasn't getting updated when we changed profiles. Looks like its maybe a leftover from the guys who used the laptop before I got hold of it. <br />
<br />
Thanks for looking into this for me noci

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm using CentOS 6.8 but think this is a more general Linux question.<br />
<br />
I'm writing a script which modified the hosts file in /etc but have noticed there is another hosts file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scr<wbr />ipts/<br />
<br />
I've had a search but can't find a description for the use of this host file, does anyone know? I'm trying to work out if I need to change multiple files.<br />
<br />
Thanks

What does the  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ do?
