Description Mihai Vintila 2008-05-22 14:05:47 UTC

All networking scripts from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts call logger without
full path. This can prevent system from booting if let's say dcc is installed
when compiled with wrong parameters and  installs /usr/sbin/logger (see bellow)
It's not really a bug but this can be easily prevented. All /etc/init.d scripts
use full path for logger network-scripts should use it also

Something like this:
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0.../usr/sbin/logger: illegal option -- i
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
logger: [-x] [-p log_facility] [-t tag] message
