Double intrface name in ifup calls

Hi,

I’ve noticed some strange output in syslog according to the ifup script functioning:

Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: eth0 Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: IP address: ******** Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: Handling Index <>: Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: IPADDR = ************ Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: PREFIXLEN = 23 Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup: CHECK_DUPLICATE_IP = no Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-route: eth0 eth0 -o rc onboot Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-route: calling: ip route replace to default via ******** ---> OK Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-route: calling: ip -4 route replace to ******* dev eth0 ---> OK Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-services: eth0 eth0 -o rc onboot Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-services: unknown option rc Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-services: No services to handle for 'eth0 eth0'

I got this using the DEBUG=“yes” option in the /etc/sysconfig/network/config file. From this, there are inrorretly called scripts:

Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-route: eth0 eth0 -o rc onboot Dec 29 08:15:36 linux-s2kv ifup-services: eth0 eth0 -o rc onboot

I suppose, this is because of this code in the /sbin/ifup script:

[CODE]if [ -n “$1” -a “$1” != “-o” ] ; then
CONFIG=$INTERFACE
INTERFACE=$1
fi

and then

…
${SCRIPTNAME}-route $CONFIG $INTERFACE ${OPTIONS:±o $OPTIONS}
…
scripts/${SCRIPTNAME}-services $CONFIG $INTERFACE ${OPTIONS:±o $OPTIONS}[/CODE]

Looks like a bug for me, but I can’t figure out how to report this to developers?

If you have active maintenance you can open a Service Request. SUSE Support will have a look and, if it is truly a bug, they will create a bug report. If it is not a bug, they may have a solution for you.

If you don’t have maintenance, you can try to file a bug report using Bugzilla.

A bug report backed by a Service Request that identifies a specific Customer is usually the more effective approach.
