..which is technically wrong and insecure, since iptables must be setup before the interface is take up while Network Manager runs these script after Network has been taken up.
Furthermore, Network Manager does not guarantee to run these script or may leave a network interface open and thus unprotected if some script fails. Definitely wrong method. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336736 Title: NetworkManager does not call /etc/network/if-pre-up.d scripts Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager Ubuntu 8.10, Linux 2.6.27-12-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 5 09:26:35 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux NetworkManager 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1.8.10.1 I've been trying to get a script to trigger on the "pre-up" phase of network configuration, however, NetworkManager doesn't seem to call it's dispatcher for "pre-up" or "post-down" events. None of the scripts I put in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ever got called, so I added the following line to the top of the dispatcher script "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown": logger -t $0 "called with $1 $2" Where $0 is the name of the script, $1 is the network interface and $2 is the network event. After bringing some network connections up and down, I checked the logs, and NetworkManager doesn't seem to be calling "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d/01ifupdown" for either "pre-up" or "post-down" events. The only entries that show up are for "up" and "down" events. According to the changelog both "pre-up" and "post-down" events are supposed to be supported as of version 0.5.1-0ubuntu12: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/336736/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
