Description Aaron VanDevender 1999-08-10 03:28:31 UTC

dialog Config->Networking->Server Tasks->IP aliases for
virtual hosts gives the names of adapters.

when eth0 is selected, linuxconf crashes.

One aliased IP was configured for eth0 (in adition to the
regular IP).

Aliased IP was removed the old fashioned way (ifconfig
eth0:0 down). The linuxconf dialog still crashes even
without any aliased IPs.

linuxconf also crashes with same error when lo0 is selected
instead of eth0.

This sounds like some program on your system is leaking shared
memory regions.  I can't reproduce this here.

You can use ipcs to list shared memory segments, and ipcrm to
delete unused segments.

One other thing to try is upgrading to the latest linuxconf in
updates, if you haven't already.  There could be some bug that
I don't know about in the earlier version.

If there are no leaked shared memory segments sitting around on
your system and the new linuxconf does not fix this either, then
please reopen this bug, and include the output of ipcs and of
rpm -q linuxconf gnome-linuxconf gtk+
