Excellent - that would be a great addition.
But I have some basic questions first.
I have installed netcf and put the netcf.aug into
/usr/share/augeas/lenses/netcf.aug.
Is it correct to put the aug file into this directory or should it remain in
the default installation path (/usr/share/netcf/lenses).
It doesn't really matter ;) netcf tells augeas to also look for files
in /usr/share/netcf/lenses, besides augeas' standard load path
of /usr/share/augeas/lenses:/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist
Is or should ncftool/netcf be able to read existing interfaces?
Absolutely; to expand on what Cole said, netcf has to be able to cope
with arbitrary changes to the network config files between different
netcf runs. We want to make sure that people's wonderful + crazy
homegrown scripts to fiddle with their network config work, and the use
of netcf is completely transparent to them.
