Description of problem: Hello, IMHO, the ip-sentinel package should suffer the following two modifications, in order to increase its quality and Red Hat scheme compliance: 1. The configuration file /var/lib/ip-sentinel/ips.cfg should be moved to /etc/ip-sentinel/ips.cfg; 2. The configuration file /etc/sysconfig/ip-sentinel should contain the following line *by default* (as installed by RPM package): IPS_OPTIONS="--poison --mac 802.3x --direction BOTH" Also, please consider including ip-sentinel into the EPEL repository, since *we don't have an equivalent functionality* in CentOS or RHEL... Version ip-sentinel-0.12-10 Thanks a lot, Răzvan
1. not a bug; 'ip-sentinel' runs in a /var/lib/ip-sentinel chroot and needs its configuration there 2. won't change; these options are assumed by default since 2004. No need to specify them explicitly As long as the used SCM does not allow easy cherry picking between branches I do not plan to contribute to EPEL. I am not sure about politics and bureaucracy in EPEL either, so don't expect a branch request from me in the near future.
