Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Setting "NM_CONTROLLED" now works correctly across all the `ifcfg-*` files
When the "NM_CONTROLLED=no" parameter was set for an interface in its `ifcfg-*` file, other interfaces in some cases inherited this configuration. This behaviour prevented the *NetworkManager* daemon from controlling these interfaces. The issue has now been resolved, and setting the "NM_CONTROLLED" parameter now works correctly across all the `ifcfg-*` files. As a result, the user can choose which interface is controlled by *NetworkManager*, and which is not.

Description of problem:
(Actually found on CentOS 7, but I have no idea if that is the right place to report it or not)
/etc/init.d/network loops over all interfaces on line 86, on line 87 it unsets some environment variables:
unset DEVICE TYPE SLAVE
However the following environment variables are set:
eval $(LANG=C grep -F "DEVICE=" ifcfg-$i)
eval $(LANG=C grep -F "TYPE=" ifcfg-$i)
eval $(LANG=C grep -F "SLAVE=" ifcfg-$i)
eval $(LANG=C grep -F "NM_CONTROLLED=" ifcfg-$i)
If you have an eth0 that sets NM_CONTROLLED to "no", and an eth1 that doesn't set NM_CONTROLLED at all, then NM_CONTROLLED will still be set to "no".
This means that all interfaces after the first one (ordered lexically) are going to not be controlled by NetworkManager...
I was dealing with some other issues, so I may or may not have actually hit a bug because of this, but figured I'd report it anyway.
Recommendation:
add NM_CONTROLLED to be unset as well.
Thanks for report. Fixed in upstream https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/initscripts.git/commit/
We will include it in some future version of initscripts for rhel/centos7
Of course as a workaround you can explicitly set NM_CONTROLLED=yes for the other devices.
