From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1) Description of problem: If ONPARENT is set in an alias config file then aliases following this one wont be started, even if ONPARENT is yes or unset Also it would be nice if the ONPARENT option actually were documented outside of old bugzilla bugs, so ppl dont waste hours fixing problems wich are already fixed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.14-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create two alias interface configs e.g ifcfg-eth0:0 and ifcfg-eth0:1 2.add ONPARENT=no to config for eth0:0 3.restart network Actual Results: notice that ifcfg-eth0:1 does not get set up Expected Results: ifcfg-eth0:1 set up Additional info:
Adding ONPARENT="" in ini_env() in ifup-aliases should fix this, it will be in 7.31-1. Leaving open for the documentation bits.
ONPARENT is documented as of 7.47-1.
