I don't think it is specific to 64-bit systems, but I have noticed the same behavior when changing the hostname via ssh -- it never comes back online by itself. No, the problem is there is a bug in the software. Obviously I am not manually stopping the network and expecting it to stay up, and I can even understand if the network connection were to drop and having to re-connect via SSH. But the case is if you change network settings via SSH using YaSt2, the connection will drop and you will physically go to the machine and find eth0 not up and need to do it manually. YaST is probably killed after stopping the network as it is no longer connected to a console. Did you try running yast via nohup or in screen?
No, but I tested on my laptop running 10.3 and I can change the hostname in YaST2 via SSH and the network, and ssh session for that matter, says up.
Andrew, All,
I filed this under https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437182 If you could, please add additional comments there to cover anything I missed. Thanks.
I'm not sure what to make of the outcome. I guess the problem is fixed for 11.1. The plan for 11.0 is a little unclear. Anyway, the bug was closed with the following discussion: ------- Comment #3 From Alexander Orlovskyy 2008-10-22 00:48:42 MDT [reply] ------- Reassign to yast2-maintainers. ------- Comment #4 From Michal Zugec 2008-10-22 08:02:02 MDT [reply] ------- This problem is fixed in openSUSE11.1 (from Beta3 above) I guess that means there will be a patch some day for 11.0. However, until then, I would avoid any remote network card reconfiguration via YAST. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
