Newbie - save SSH and ifconfig settings

(1/2) > >>

trout1:
Apologize for the (hopefully) easy question:

My IP address config (DHCP vs static) keeps changing.  As well, the SSH server will not stay on.  This is without rebooting the system or configuring anything.  As well, I lost a user I added and the tc user password changed.

My guess is that it's one of the modes I need to change or add to the optlist.  I would be less surprised about this if this was on reload.

My .filetool.lst has:
opt/bootlocal.sh
opt/.tcrc
opt/.backgrounds
opt/.filetool.lst
opt/.xfiletool.lst
home/tc
etc/init.d/dropbear
home/tc/.IOL
opt/eth0.sh



Disclaimer:  Very new to linux, and a lot of the FAQ is over my head.  I received a VM of this with some built-in apps I need to use which are difficult to rebuild, so I really would like to stay on TC despite being over my head.  Running on ESXi 4.0.

You forgot to add
etc/dropbear
etc/shadow

Thanks for the help.  Just added these, we'll see what it looks like.

When I click the backup button, should I use hda/ by default, or is there someplace I should check to make sure that's the right file system?

What function in the OS is clearing the settings without a reload?  That is what was most confusing.

trout1:
I still lost my static IP address config, and DHCP is still being turned on. 

Any idea which file/directory needs to be saved for this? 

curaga:
If a server won't stay on, it's either stopped by something or it never starts (config error?).
