I don't believe .OLD is a normal editor backup file... that's why it's read. Two reasons why I believe this needs to be fixed: 1- the network configuration should be loaded even if there are errors in one of the files, the subsequent files should be read. 2- This is not caused by a normal editor. It is caused by RedHat's upgrade process. Note a few other ocurrances of this problem: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+ifcfg-eth0.OLD Redhat's network configuration utilities should not create these files, but if they do, ifup-aliases should continue working. This bug was not about the creation of the files or even the exitance of such files, but that fact that ifup-aliases would cease working upon the first error it encountered. I believe that it should report the error and continue to load the other valid aliases. Looking at current redhat-config-network code, I don't see it creating .OLD; but you're right, it shouldn't bail completely. initscripts-8.26-1 were fixed to ignore incorrectly named files, and to continue on errors in alias files. Thanks for your report. |
