Hi I want to know whether this is a bug and report it but I do not know where to report it. Upstream? Background: It seems upon booting there is a problem where the ifup-route file is called before the actual interface is up. I put some "logger -t ifup-route.jobst ... " messages into the "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-route" and those messages show up BEFORE the interface is up: Oct 7 10:21:28 ifup-route.jobst: Called with eth: eth_1 (eth_1) Oct 7 10:21:28 network: Bringing up interface eth_1: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Oct 7 10:21:28 network: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Oct 7 10:21:28 network: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Oct 7 10:21:28 network: [ OK ] The file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth_1 contains: -host XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1 gw AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD -host XXX.YYY.ZZZ.3 gw AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD -host XXX.YYY.ZZZ.4 gw AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD Eth1 is part of the AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD network. If I put the routing rules into "run-at-boot" file that requires networking being UP, there are NO problems adding the routes. -- Jobst Schmalenbach Be gentle with the earth.
