I was about to try that when I looked at the permissions, so I knew what permissions to give the new file.  For some reason I'd no permissions at all.  Reset the permissions to read/write and all is OK.  No idea what caused it as there doesn't appear to be an update related to it.
The networking loss was solved by reinstalling dhcp3 and NM, after creating a static IP etc.  Again no recent update seems to be related to this.
Odd that it only effected the two installs from the Alpha 3 CD and not those that had been upgraded from earlier releases.
