RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

I am fine with that.

Also if you don't want any networking daemon running on background I think that NM now has some set&exit mode.

Comment 7 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-07-28 15:08:37 UTC 
As I wrote in comment #1 I am sorry, but we don't accept any new features to initscripts. Please try NetworkManager instead and file any RFE there.

The attached patch is just for reference. Maybe other people have similar issues and the patch could help them.
Comment 10 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2017-10-02 16:21:05 UTC 
Hello everybody,

I'm reopening this BZ so it is reconsidered as a valid request for enhancement for initscripts package.

IMHO, even though the 'initscripts/network-scripts' are in "deprecated" state, I think this request is reasonable enough to at least try to implement this change.

However, I can only suggest to add support for 'DNS3' option, because glibc's MAXNS value is still (even in Fedora) set to value *3*, meaning that only 3 nameservers will be actually used for name resolving.

ATM I don't see a valid reason to support DNS4 (or more) in network-scripts, especially when network-scripts are already in "deprecated" state, and they were never meant to be 1:1 equivalent to NetworkManager in the first place. (NetworkManager is suppose to replace and surpass the limitations of network-scripts.)

Best regards,

 -- David --
