Summary: /sbin/ifup calls a bogus ifconfig command if some
options are unset
Product: Codex
Version: test grimoire
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P4
Component: net
AssignedTo: sqweek AT gmail.com
ReportedBy: sqweek AT gmail.com
CC: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org


/sbin/ifup contains the line:

ifconfig $DEV $IP broadcast $BROADCAST netmask $NETMASK $ARGS

This results in an erroneous command line if the user happens to skip setting
BROADCAST or NETMASK in netconf (which I, personally, would /never/ do >.>).
I have a patch which appends $BROADCAST and $NETMASK to $ARGS if they're
non-empty as is currently done with $POINTOPOINT and $MTU, as well as making
the
$ARGS building code a bit more pretty :)
BUT, maybe a better fix is to ensure these settings are set in netconf...
