Description of problem: The ipcalc utility which is included on the initial installation environment on the Install DVD fails to validate some address/netmask pairs. I have used it on some kickstart file, in which I validate some user input at the beginning of the installation. The command ipcalc -c 192.168.122.13 255.254.255.0 in the initial environment exits with success status, but it is obviously an incorrect netmask. The ipcalc utility in Fedora 23 correctly marks this as an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot RHEL7.2 install dvd 2. Wait until graphical console, then switch to CLI console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) 3. Enter command "ipcalc -c 192.168.122.13 255.254.255.0" Actual results: No output, and exit status 1 Expected results: ipcalc: bad IPv4 prefix: 255.254.255.0 exit status 1 Additional info:
ipcalc is part of the initscripts package, reassigning.
sounds easy to fix -> devel_ack
Sorry, typo on "Actual results": exit status is 0, not 1.
