Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The ifdown() routine in src/ifdown.c (called by halt or reboot when passed -i
flag) produces weird output on GNU/kFreeBSD (prints uninitialised strings).
Since this feature is not very useful, because netbase already shuts down
interfaces, I haven't bothered to port it. Here's a patch that turns ifdown()
into a dummy stub for non-Linux systems.
Please note that we still need the -i command-line flags since other scritps
seem to rely on them, though.
