RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0429 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE NetworkManager bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:49:02 UTC

Description Bill Nottingham 2012-04-30 19:12:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

initscripts uses /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient{6}-${DEVICE}.leases as the lease file name.

It would be nice if NM could notice this as being newer/active and copy it to its own lease file on startup, allowing more seamless lease takeover.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 6 NM

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-06 04:06:58 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Paul Smith 2012-08-29 22:33:59 UTC 
I think this is a duplicate of, or strongly related to, bug #607921.

Note I've just attached a patch to that bug, which modifies the sysv networking scripts to use the same lease file format as NetworkManager.  This is just another way to solve the same problem: rather than changing NetworkManager to copy the initscripts file over when it starts, we just change the initscripts file to use the same file format as NetworkManager.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-06 22:38:53 UTC

Management has requested further review of this request by
