Better to check the length and report error as the patches do. Michal: I think, there should be a check of the name in yast2-network too, to bail out early (there were a bug about this already a long while ago). Is there still something? -- 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.
