Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.60-3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installed an everest with 17 interfaces, all DHCP
2. Connected network cables to eth0, eth1, eth3, eth4
3. /etc/init.d/network stop; /etc/init.d/network start
4. /sbin/ifconfig
    
Actual results:
eth1, eth3, eth4 displayed twice.

Expected results:
Only displayed once.

Issue Tracker 26389 opened as sev 1.
Note that this bug does not meet a severity 1 definition. It is at most a sev 2.
and possibly a sev 3.

Event posted 08-13-2003 04:59pm by charline.polifka with duration of 0.00      
 Severity set to: High

Comment 3 Glen A. Foster 2003-08-25 21:32:45 UTC
It is definitely NOT a sev-3, so leave it at a sev-2. The magic words are
BLOCKER QU3.

Comment 4 Phil Knirsch 2003-09-01 09:32:25 UTC
No worries, folks. The patch has been included in net-tools-1.60-4 and later and
the errata version for QU3 is based on net-tools-1.60-19.

Read ya, Phil

Comment 5 Suzanne Hillman 2003-10-06 17:54:23 UTC
As per Comment #3, added to the U3 blocker bug list.

Comment 6 Larry Troan 2003-10-20 21:40:24 UTC
NOT ON SUE'S MUSTFIX LIST BUT FIX-PENDING. LEAVING AS U3 BLOCKER.

Comment 10 Glen A. Foster 2003-12-16 16:38:07 UTC
This appears fixed in RHEL2.1 update 3 -- closing
