Right? So you mean we should set promote_secondaries as soon as multiple static addresses are used? Or always (because it does not harm)? Or only if there is some address marked as secondary? On the other side: ifup/down can only set up or take down an interface completely. It does not add/delete single addresses while the interface stays up. So your action is bypassing ifup/down. Why should then ifup set this flag? I just want to know. I have no problem in adding this feature to ifup if you tell me that promote_secondaries=1 does not harm. And, since it is a new feature, it will probably not go to 10.2, but to 10.3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
