[BlueOnyx:06730] Re: new build ISO shell based network issues?

Hi Roy,

I'm sorry to say it, but then you didn't follow the usual procedures:

1.) Install from the iso and reboot.

2.) At the login prompt and before login it tells you to login as "root" with 
password "blueonyx".

3.) Once you logged in that way, the interactive setup starts and will guide 
you through the network setup.

You probably bypassed this procedure by logging in as "admin" and then fiddled 
around with legacy tools such as "setup", which is not the supported way of 
doing things.

If you bypass the interactive setup built into BlueOnyx (it gets executed the 
first time you log in as "root"), then all bets are off. This interactive 
setup does a lot more than to configure the network settings, as it also 
restarts services and populates CCE with some important information.

So if you detour from that path, then quite a few things won't work as 
intended.

It is there for a reason, which is also true for quite a few other system 
tools which rarely get used.
