ipv6 duplication in modules.conf

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: Every time my machine boots, the line alias net-pf-10 ipv6 is added to /etc/modules.conf, even tho it is already present both there and in /etc/modprobe.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora-devel 20040122 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable IPv6 2. reboot several times Actual Results: noticed proliferation of net-pf-10 aliases in /etc/modules.conf Expected Results: if this alias is needed, it shouldn't be added to the modules.conf file if it is already present. Additional info: IPv6 is enabled with NETWORKING_IPV6=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network and the following lines in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: IPV6INIT=yes IPV6ADDR=fec0::5/64 IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes All packages are up-to-date as of 20030122. Sorry for not having the proper package, but I've no idea what is adding that line to the system on bootup. I have not modified any of the system startup scripts, other than adding the above lines for IPv6 support.
Is this still an issue with FC development today?
elanthis@stargrazer:~$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 via-rhine alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias char-major-195* nvidia alias nfs4 nfs alias rpc_pipefs sunrpc alias rpc_svc_gss_pipefs sunrpc alias usb-controller uchi-hcd alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 alias net-pf-10 ipv6 Unless the bug was fixed within the last week, then yes. I'd reboot to test it for sure, but that wouldn't be very convenient at the moment... ^^; Looking at line 41 in /etc/init.d/network, I think the bug is the alias assignment. After cleaning out /etc/modules.conf so there is only one alias net-pf-10 ipv6 line, I get this: elanthis@stargrazer:~$ /sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias net-pf-10 / { print $3 }' ipv6 ipv6 So the alias assignment is equaling "ipv6\nipv6" which, thus, doesn't match "ipv6" and thus the if clause is executed.
I'm reassigning this bug to initscripts as this is really something that goes wrong there. None of the net tools touch/write /etc/modules.conf (except system-config-network, but thats a completely different beast ;-). Read ya, Phil
Gack, that should have been nuked a long time ago. Will be fixed in 7.51-1.
