From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: The gui network configuration tool will not allow me to delete static routes on an interface. I believe that this is due to the fact that the tool may be saving route info to an incorrect file. I believe it should be saving to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/eth?.route. But, it actually saves to 2 files; /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/route-eth? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth? I believe that this is not the general format for Redhat, but I could be wrong. I've already reported a problem with ifup-routes, that may be related to this also. Both have to be set the same in order for static routes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3.10-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add a static route to eth0 2.Save changes and exit 3.Remove static route from eth0 4.Save changes and exit 5.Go back in and see that the route still exits Additional info:
this is ok, because /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth? is the only place the initscripts should look into... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth? is a hardlink to /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/route-eth?
First, both Redhat 8, Redhat 9 look in both location for routing information. Second, other software, including webmin, look in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices for the routing info. Third, these don't appear to be hardlinks on my systems, they appear to be separate files. And, finally, that still doesn't address the problem that gui config tool won't allow me to delete a static route that has been added to an interface.
