No, you can't send bugs to bugs@redhat; however, at the top of the new bug page is a 'Skip all this and go to the standard bug entry form' link, which allows you to enter free-form text... This was put there to work around problems with certain (broken) config tools, that wrote silly things like: etho net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw eth0 which is, of course, bogus. Will be fixed in 5.70-1; thanks! |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686) There is a mismatch between /etc/rc2.d/S10network and /sbin/route that causes failure in the setup of static-routes read from the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file. The S10network script explicitly removes all references to the "gw" gateway flag in the static-routes table that it passes through to the /sbin/route command (a la sysV conventions). However, /sbin/route follows BSD conventions and expects the "gw" flag before the gateway address, failure to include this flag returns the error: SIOCADDRT: No such device. Solution: EITHER change the /etc/rc2.d/S10network script removing the marked lines [rm] if [ "${bogus}" = "gw" ]; then [rm] /sbin/route add -$type $dest $netmask $mask $args [rm] else /sbin/route add -$type $dest $netmask $mask $bogus $args [rm] fi OR allow /sbin/route to understand both BSD and sysV syntax (i.e. have the gw flag be optional). This is probably the better solution. cheers Tony Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see description 2. 3. Actual Results: see description Expected Results: see description This bugzilla interface is really very irritating, I seriously doubt I'll bother to do this next time. Is it still possible to send bug reports to bugs ? As not all bug reports fit this forms based approach.
