From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Documentation says the /etc/sysconfig/network file contains the GATEWAY and GATEWAYDEV directives. Not on my system. Seems GATEWAY has been moved to the individual ifcfg-eth<X> files, thus obsoleting the GATEWAYDEV directive ? Section "8.2.1. Ethernet Interfaces" documenting the ifcfg-eth<X> files fails to mention the GATEWAY directive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhel-rg-en-3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View the Reference Guide 2. View 4.1.22 3. View 8.2.1 Additional info:
Talking with initscripts developer owner, as the /usr/share/doc/initscrips-ver/sysconfig.txt file is also incorrect.
Yeah, it's a little out of date. Both approaches should actually work.
Will add GATEWAY to 8.2.1 and subtract GATEWAY and GATEWAYDEV from 4.1.22 per bug reporter for RHEL4-rg documentation. Closing bug as NEXTRELEASE, as the information isn't incorrect, just needs clarification for RHEL4.
