+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #629206 +++ Description of problem: Hi, Still after reapiring bugs discovered in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584893 netcf isn't working Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@dhcp-2-205 ~]# rpm -qa netcf netcf-0.1.6-4.el6.x86_64 ls /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall -alhZ -rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:system_conf_t:s0 /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. # ncftool Actual results: Failed to initialize netcf error: unspecified error Expected results: ncftool> --- Additional comment from laine on 2010-09-01 14:23:46 EDT --- Jan, Can you run "ncftool -d" and attach the output. This *might* tell us what is confusing augeas and causing the "unspecified error" message. If you can also attach the full contents of /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall, /etc/sysconfig/iptables, and /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-*, that may come in handy as well. In the meantime, if you need to do other testing on this machine, please see the Technical Note I just added here - making that change should allow ncftool to work. --- Additional comment from laine on 2010-09-01 14:23:46 EDT --- Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Until the root cause of this intermittent problem is found, you can work around it by setting: net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf (and or manually setting it with "sysctl -w"). This should allow netcf to continue initializing. The given error message will pop up when the augeas library (used by netcf) has trouble parsing one of the system config files that netcf needs to read/modify; this could be due to permissions on the file, or its content. To aid in tracking down the source of the bug, please rune ncftool with the "-d" option, and attach the output to this bug. (also, the contents of any /etc/sysconfig/* file mentioned in that output would also be helpfule). --- Additional comment from jscotka on 2010-09-02 09:06:37 EDT --- Created attachment 442614 [details] config files for network Hi, it has same output as without -d: [root@dhcp-2-205 ~]# ncftool Failed to initialize netcf error: unspecified error [root@dhcp-2-205 ~]# ncftool -d Failed to initialize netcf error: unspecified error and after using # sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=0 it starts to work.
