[webmin-devel] /etc/hosts, ifconfig

[Hugo C. <hug...@ya...>]

I am using mozilla and webmin to reconfigure a
machine, sometimes a remote machine, always a Suse 8.1
installation.  I want to change the IP address of one
of the interfaces, and want to adapt the /etc/hosts
file to reflect the new settings.

Currently my browser seems to block after I change the
IP address, no surprise.  What is the best way to go
through these steps ?

Also mozilla seems to cache the IP address it is
connected to.  A complete restart of mozilla is
required to reconnect to the machine that I
reconfigured.  Has this something to do with
authentication and sessions ?  

Any pointers and help appreciated.
