Description of problem:
when bonding interfaces, inet addr should be on the bond device. 
After update 3's version of initscripts came out, ifup sets the inet
addr on each enslaved interface which breaks some software we are
suing.  Here is an example:

$ifconfig -a
bond0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0D:56:BC:19:31  
          inet addr:10.20.1.131  Bcast:10.20.1.255  Mask:255.255.254.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:365077 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:152 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          inet addr:10.20.1.131  Bcast:10.20.1.255  Mask:255.255.254.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:182546 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:76 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:65 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:65 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:9189 (8.9 Kb)  TX bytes:9189 (8.9 Kb)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.31.16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up ifcfg-bond0, ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 to form a bonded device.
2.Reboot
3.All 3 devices have ip address set.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-05 03:59:51 UTC 
See Documentation/networking/bonding.txt in the kernel source - this
is expected.
Comment 2 randy hoffman 2004-10-05 14:58:35 UTC 
it changed behaviour after RH AS3 U3 therefore thought it was a bug.
Before Update 3 ifup did not set ip's on the enslaved devices.  Thanks
for looking at this.
