yes it should This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. We've kept/resurrected s-c-network only as a stop-gap measure until NetworkManager grows some still missing functionality. I won't add new features to it, though. Closing. |
Description of problem: Create an aliased eth0:DNS in "/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices" (Why use "DNS" instead of "01"? Because: - It works in RH ES 4 - Using short strings indicating what the alias is for is better than carrying an Excel table along ) Starting system-config-network gives the error dialog: "eth0:DNS, Device not specified or alias not a number!" It then shows the devices but evidently there are problems with activation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.5.5-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Trial data: In "/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices" create file ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 HWADDR=00:02:B3:33:35:D2 IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=no NM_CONTROLLED=no Additionally create file ifcfg-eth0:DNS DEVICE=eth0:DNS BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 IPADDR=192.168.1.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=no NM_CONTROLLED=no Expected results: system-config-network should be able to handle "non-numeric alias".
