patch to handle quoted parameters
Note: this requires respinning initscripts too. There's something to be said for 'don't mis-edit files', though. :) This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Also, with regards to this patch, it will break if someone *wants* there to be a quote in their device name. As that's legal (if odd) for the device name, I'm somewhat inclined to not dequote that parameter. (And no, I don't want to introduce escapes.) Added in 1.2.57.1.16-1. added to RHEL5.2 release notes under "Resolved Issues": <quote> kudzu can now properly parse ifcfg-* files that contain quotes. In addition, kudzu no longer modifies network configurations on device change if the device's HWADDR is not specified. </quote> please advise if any revisions are in order. thanks! ----- Additional Comments From gmuelas.com 2008-01-21 05:28 EDT ------- Hello Red Hat, Release Notes proposed for RHEL 5.2 will be verify when we are able to test the statement on the first beta (or alpha if any arrives). Still pending are: - a KB for RHEL 5 and RHEL 5.1 where quotes should not be use except for OPTIONS when giving more than one pair. - updating Installation and Deployment Guide explaining how to use parameter OPTIONS (at least with an example) in ifcfg in general. Thanks for your support, Gonzalo. This event sent from IssueTracker by jkachuck issue 122098 Might want to change the relnote to "contain quotes around the HWADDR or SUBCHANNELS parameter.", just to be specific. thanks Bill, edited as advised. Verified with kudzu-1.2.57.1.16-2 / RHEL5.2-Server-20080401.nightly An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below.
