Two days ago, one of my workstations upgrade a ton of packages. It is not

Two things showed up that are of concern (both messed up my
firewall script which reads and uses these values):
1) my "GATEWAY=" setting was removed from /etc/sysconfig/network
and moved to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
"ifup eth1" will now read the "GATEWAY=" from ifcfg-eth1. If moved back to
/etc/sysconfig/network, ifup will no longer read it.
Has "GATEWAY" in /etc/sysconfig/network been depreciated?
2) in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1, "BOOTPROTO=" got changed
from "static" to "none".
Has this also been depreciated?
Anyone know of a working document from Red Hat dealing with
what is current for ifcfg-ethx and /etc/sysconfig/network?
GATEWAY works whether it's in network or ifcfg-*.
That is what I though. Not any more (I did test this).
"static" has always been incorrect because it isn't a boot protocol.
It was at one time. But, apparently got removed from
RHEL 6:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/361
Since the scripts only check for "dhcp" and bootp" you could use
"ToddAndMargo" and you'd still get a static address.
(Are you sure that another admin didn't make these changes?)
I am the admin and I am he only one that uses that machine.
I can't give you an exact path at the moment but there's a
"sysconfig.txt" file in "/usr/share/doc/initscripts-<ver>/".
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.03.40/sysconfig.txt
That has the whole nine yards in it. Very cool.
No more guessing and googling. And is has the GATEWAY
in Network that no longer works too.
Thank you!
