From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020913 Description of problem: In Issues :: IBM-RSS :: Issue 9257 IBM RSS reports: The network configuration application, neat, will strip comments from the end of a line in modules.conf if before that comment is an entry for a loadable module. For example, before we run neat, our modules.conf file looks like this: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc # we have comments like this alias usb-controller usb-uhci # we need end of line comments # we have comments like this Then after we run neat to add the ethernet adapter it looks like this: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc # we have comments like this alias usb-controller usb-uhci # we have comments like this alias eth0 pcnet32 We don't believe neat should be stripping any of these comments from the modules.conf file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add comments to modules.conf 2.run neat 3.read modules.conf Actual Results: comments are missing Expected Results: comments are not missing Additional info:
