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.
Description of problem:
If Network Manager is not installed then services that want to listen on explicitly configured IP addresses are unable to start. Those services (including sshd, apache and others) depend on network.target and they fail because they're unable to bind to chosen IP addresses. There is an easy workaround for it:
systemctl add-wants multi-user.target network.target
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-219-30.el7_3.6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Network Manager is uninstalled.
2. In case of sshd, make sure this is in place:
ListenAddress 10.20.30.10 - any IP configured on the system would do
3. Boot the system
Actual results:
During system boot we see this:
sshd[423]: error: Bind to port 22 on 10.20.30.10 failed: Cannot assign requested address.
Expected results:
sshd and other services that use similar config to start fine
Additional info:
