Hey everyone

Asking another noob question sorry.

What could be wrong with my network settings yaml file (not sure what you call it sorry, network config file maybe.

```auto
# This is the network config written by 'subiquity'
network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    enp2s0:
      dhcp4: false
      addresses: [10.0.0.206/24]
      gateway4: 10.0.0.1
      nameservers:
        addresses: [10.0.0.1,9.9.9.9]

```

This is the file but when change the seettings (changed the ip from .171 to .206

it comes with with loads of errors

```auto

Are you familliar with file permissions on Linux? First error says that permissions are too open, run this command to check them for your file (please provide the output):

> ls -l /etc/path/to/your/file

Second error says that using gateway4 is not supported anymore. Unfortunetelly I have never worked with yaml file for networks, so I won’t be able to help you. Unless somebody else will help you you will have to check the documentation for that.

By the way, what distro are you using? Is it a desktop or a server? Also how did you get these errors, with wich command?

Best,
