Description of problem: dhcp6c client daemon doesn't stopped if DHCPV6C_OPTIONS undefined in ifcfg-eth0 config file during ifdown eth0 command. There is the BUG in ifup-eth network script: --- dhcp6_pid=(`/bin/ps -eo 'pid,args' | /bin/grep "dhcp6c ${DHCPV6C_OPTIONS} ${DEVICE}" | egrep -v grep`) --- So, if DHCPV6C_OPTIONS is undefined there are double space and grep doesn't work, pid is undefined. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.45.30-3.el5_5.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup the DHCP client for IPv6 2. ifup eth0; ifdown eth0 3. See that dhcp6c daemon was not stopped Actual results: dhcp6c daemon doesn't stopped when interface is ifdown'ed Expected results: dhcp6c daemon should be stopped when interface is ifdown'ed
This should be fixed in initscripts-8.45.41-1.el5.
