Description Toby Long-Leather 2004-07-22 10:47:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The standard install uses network interface(s) that have the same
interface name and device name (e.g. interface=eth0, device=eth0).

If network interfaces have been renamed (e.g. interface=DMZNet,
device=eth0), then '/etc/init.d/network stop' will not stop the
interface.  This is because the call to check_device_down is passing
the interface name (DMZNet) rather than the device name (eth0).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.31.13.EL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a network interface with an interface name different to
device name.
2. /etc/init.d/network start
3. /etc/init.d/network stop

Please attach your config.
Comment 2 Toby Long-Leather 2004-07-22 23:14:57 UTC 
Will attach copy of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-DMZNet next
Monday (the next time I can access the server).  The bug can be fixed
by replacing 'check_device_down $i' with 'check_device_down $DEVICE'.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-07-23 02:24:26 UTC 
This was fixed in initscripts-7.31.8.EL-1.
