From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifup-aliases yelds an error like this: error in ifcfg-lo:0: didn't specify device or ipaddr when reading an alias generated by linuxconf. the problem should have been resolved in initscripts-6.67-1 (according to CVS) but, apparently, the initscripts-6.67-1.rpm was built from initscripts-6.67. In fact I checked initscripts-6.67-1.src.rpm and it contains the scripts from 6.67. So it seems that the "bug" is actually due to an error in the building of the rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-6.67-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: create an alias for an interface via linuxconf (e.g. lo:0) restart network (or just call ifup l0) Actual Results: error in ifcfg-lo:0: didn't specify device or ipaddr Additional info: I wrote enough information on the description, I guess.
At this point, if it's not fixed in current sources, it probably won't be fixed. It appears to be fixed in 6.75 and later.
