I am looking for command line or text based network configuration tools.  As
you may be aware, Red Hat does not include linuxconf or netconf with RH 7.1
or 7.2.  Admittedly, using this venerable tool could cause problems but
netconf was functional once you got past the quirks.  

The new graphical tools are OK, but I don't always have access to the
console and sometimes I want to build a server without a GUI.  So how do you
make changes to the network with text only tools?  Is there a complete
reference showing exactly which configuration files you can manually edit
and which services to manually start to get the network configured?

Thanks,

Brian
