I went through each and every directory and file and found Directories 2 
and 33 reporting the wrong MAC addresses for eth0 and eth1. And Directories 
692, 693, 694, 711 and 712 refer to eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5, eth6, with 
phantom IP and Mac addresses. Since there are only 2 NICs installed (eth0 
and eth1), and when I check the network configuration from the console, it 
shows correctly, I need to remove these references, which may fix some of 
my problems. Can someone point me in the right direction for some 
instructions. I found the following but am not sure if it is correct:



etc/init.d/crond stop

etc/init.d/cced.init stop

modify the proper files in directories 2 and 33 to reflect the proper MAC 
addresses.

remove the unneeded directories by performing:



rm -R /usr/sausalito/codb/objects/692

rm -R /usr/sausalito/codb/objects/693

rm -R /usr/sausalito/codb/objects/694

rm -R /usr/sausalito/codb/objects/611

rm -R /usr/sausalito/codb/objects/712



/etc/init.d/crond start

/etc/init.d/cced.init start



Thanks
