openSUSE Recommended Update: sysconfig: various bugfixes ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2012:1651-1 Rating: moderate References: #716652 #775281 #780644 #784952 #785240 Affected Products: openSUSE 12.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has 5 recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: The sysconfig network scripts received various updates fixing bugs and improving performance: - Execute netconfig/ntp-runtime update in background, so dhcp post processing works faster when ntpdc needs a while (bnc#780644). - Changed rcnetwork to not report dhcp in background to systemd (bnc#785240,bnc#780644). You may set DHCLIENT_MODIFY_SMB_CONF to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp as the samba/cifs hooks make systemctl calls to reload/restart nmb and other services which block (systemd deadlock) ifup scripts for a long time. - Fixed to not report failure while setting unsupported power management option in ifup-wireless as the support and features depends on the driver (bnc#716652). - Fixed to check and reject too long interface names or names with suspect characters, do not wait when creation of virtual interface name fails (bnc#784952). - Fixed netconfig/ntp-runtime to not use try-restart as its start may block for a while, so just add servers ourself. When ntpd is not running (not yet started), the init script will pickup our servers later (bnc#780644). - Fixed ifup-dhcp to not start dhcp clients too early or they may be unable to send packets and just increase resend time. Instead, load af_packet module early and wait for link ready (bnc#780644). - Check before running a script in netcontrol_services (bnc#775281).
