Summary: net-tools ifup shouldn't use ifconfig -a
Product: Codex
Version: stable grimoire
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: net
AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: dmlb2000 AT gmail.com


The function in the ifup script to check if the interface is up uses ifconfig
-a
which lists both up and down interfaces. The function tries to pass the
arguments to grep looking for an inet addr but you can still have a 'down'
interface with a valid ip. I think this should be changed to ifconfig instead
of
ifconfig -a.

This issue was found by using the xen networking scripts to setup a bridged
network. I had to modify the ifup script on my system in this way to make ifup
function the appropriate way so the network would work.
