Howdy all,

I updated netconf to support the new POINTOPOINT, MTU and UP_ON_BOOT
flags. For network device files that already exist, saving is done
"in-place" (not really, it uses a slightly modified version of sedit from
sorcery's libmisc) to preserve any extra information in the device files
(like do_device_up(), do_status(), additional comments, etc).

I'm hoping some of you can test it out quick to find any bugs I
overlooked! If all is well, I'll get someone to update the netconf spell.

*cowers for not yet getting cvs/p4 access himself*

For those interested, changes since version 0.9:

# 2003-10-28 charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
# - stole sedit() function from sorcery's libmisc
# - renamed save_device() to confirm_save() for clarity
# - renamed real_save() to save_new() for clarity
# - added save_update() to make in-place changes to a device file
# using sedit, allowing network functions to be preserved in files
# - confirm_save() confirms if the user wishes to save a device
# file, if they answer yes, it calls either save_new() or
# save_update() to save the file depending on if the device
# file exists
# - made use of local in many functions and removed unset's where
# no longer needed
# - corrected spelling error in 2003-06-19 change entry :-)
# - version 1.0
#
# 2003-10-26 charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
# - shortened a couple strings to prevent them from being cut off
# - added cfg_pointopoint()
# - added cfg_mtu()
# - added toggle_boot()
# - updated loadnetdev() and cfg_device() to support POINTOPOINT,
# MTU and UP_ON_BOOT options
#
# 2003-08-04 charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
# - fixed a case bug in cfg_ns(): changed '*') to *)
#
# 2003-07-28 charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
# - cfg_hostname() dialog now has a cancel button
# - cancelling changes to hostname or trying to set a blank
# hostname will now leave /etc/hostname unchanged
#
# 2003-07-17 charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
# - minor reorganization of configuration variables
