Package: netbase
Version: 4.34
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The current LSB header in the /etc/init.d/networking script contains:
# Default-Stop: 0 6
The networking should not be stopped at reboot or poweroff/halt since some
software depends on the networking to work until the host is down. One example
is 'apcupsd' and 'nut' software which needs to be able to detect on slaves the
power status reported by the master host which is actually connected to the
UPS. If the networking is stopped than the slaves cannot connect to the remote
daemon even if the UPS daemon is still working on the master.
The patch to achieve this is quite simple:
--- /etc/init.d/networking 2008-07-26 02:02:15.000000000 +0300
+++ /etc/init.d/networking_new 2009-05-20 18:45:36.000000000 +0300

Not going to happen: releasing DHCP leases is more important.
