Package: netbase
Version: 4.22
Severity: minor
Hi,
I noticed that /etc/network/options is now deprecated. As the init
scripts warn on this issue, I tried to RTFM and see what I should do
to fix this issue.
The only piece of documentation I could find was this:
/usr/share/doc/netbase/README.Debian:
" * /etc/network/options
This file is deprecated, and if present should be replaced by values
in /etc/sysctl.conf or equivalent custom scripts. "
Then I checked the contents of /etc/network/options and found this:
ip_forward=no
spoofprotect=yes
syncookies=no
So, by following the documentation, I should now write something to
/etc/sysctl.conf. Fine, I could do that, but this sounds like a bit
strange upgrade path for a regular user. After all, I don't think I
have ever touched my /etc/network/options file.
According to some Google hits, it seems that I can safely remove this
file if I have only "spoofprotect" enabled and if I am running a
modern kernel. If this is right, could you:
1) Explain this more carefully in README.Debian, NEWS.Debian or such?
2) If possible, automatically detect if /etc/network/options can be
safely removed, and do it without bothering the user?
Best regards,
Jukka Suomela
