I agree. Nothing has yet reached the ease-of-use-level¹ of ifupdown paired with ifupdown-scripts-zg2 that I maintained and used in the 2000 years, but I eventually decided to drop that easy-of-use for networkd, lowering my workload significantly. Greetings Marc ¹ ifupdown-scripts-zg2 cached commands needed for the takedown of the interface when it was brought up and didnt need the interface configuration to take it down. Therefore, you could change configuration while the Interfacce was up and then just say "ifdown ; ifup" and be fine. No network configuration software up to today has THAT feature. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | " Questions are the | Mailadresse im Header Rhein-Neckar, DE | Beginning of Wisdom " | Nordisch by Nature | Lt.
