I modified by hand.    I tried to open the system-config-network on  
this particular system, but apparently there is a bug in the gui  
program.  I also like to modify the files by hand, so I can have a  
better understanding of the process.   We maintain various types of  
operating systems here.  Guis change with the systems, but the basic  
unix structure stays the same.
