Intrigating...


Give more details. Vi? Have you edited it as root?

I can guess no much from your problem without further details.

The possibilities I see are:

i. You are not effectively writing your files to disk (wrong permissions?).
ii. You are writing, but in the wrong place.
iii. There is a new and revolutionary safety mechanism in Fedora for system stability assurance, shamefully plagiarizated from Rwindows XP that backs up your configurations and puts them back to its places when restarting... Mourning.


Please tell us somthings like:

It happens when using another editor?
It allways happens or sometimes?
It happes for files anywhere or in a specific place(s)?
Have you run any Redhat tools meanwhile? It would explain a lot of things.
Did you notice any abnormal messages in you system (dmesg)? Unmounting problems can lead to unflushed data.

It seems that the iii and most unbelievable choice is the really one.

Is there any non-standard services running at startup?
Did you try to grep your old configurations? I mean grep your old IP in the /etc to see if any redhat tool is also storing this data for a possible recovering after reboot or something like.
If your computer replaces your old configuration, it must be somewhere, don´t you agree?

If you try to change your configurations using RH tools, the reboot problem does not happen, right?
I don´t like the customized tools bond to Linux distros, and that made me to avoid RH. The kind of trouble you have is not rare, as the companies feel ease to do non-standard things in the system.
The best you do is to tame your distro. As the time passes, you learn to live with its oddities.

By now. Make this try. Search the whole root if needed.
