Description DaveG 2011-08-09 11:50:57 UTC
Description of problem:
While experimenting with IPv6, DHCP & DDNS, I noticed a typo in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth.
In the stanza handling dhclient shutdown (line 73) the PID file name passed to dhclient does not include the IP version prefix. IPv4 is closed first, removing it's PID file, then IPv6 is closed using the (now removed) IPv4 PID file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.20.2-1.fc14.1.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
/sbin/dhclient -r -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient$VER-${DEVICE}.leases -pf /var/run/dhclient-${DEVICE}.pid ${DEVICE} >/dev/null 2>&1

Expected results:
/sbin/dhclient -r -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient$VER-${DEVICE}.leases -pf /var/run/dhclient$VER-${DEVICE}.pid ${DEVICE} >/dev/null 2>&1
