From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010917 Description of problem: The ifup-routes script greps through static-routes for lines concerning the requested interface. To guard against lines beginning with an alias interface it uses the pattern "^$DEVICE ". By doing this it forces the user to separate the device name and the following route arguments with spaces. It is not possible to use tabs, as one expects for that kind of config file. This is a longstanding annoyance which was already present in at least RHL 6.2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): At least 6.20 - 6.39 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write an entry like "eth0<tab>rest of the line" to static-routes 2. Do "ifup eth0" Actual Results: The expected route is not set. Expected Results: The route should be set.
