The subnet does not matter. Setting it always would be best (no harm done). Setting it only if there is some address marked as secondary is equivalent to setting the flag only if there are multiple addresses because an interface can only have one primary address, all others are secondaries. You do not need to set promote_secondaries for each interface. AFAIK it is enough to set it during network initialization once in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/promote_secondaries . So /etc/init.d/network (section "start") may be the best place for this. -- 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.
