Bug#481285: please add syntax checking for interfaces file

2008-05-14 Thread Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo
Package: netbase
Version: 4.32
Severity: wishlist

Would be great to have some check target launching
/etc/init.d/networking.

Let's say you have many VLANs/interfaces with the similar names (which is
not so rarely seen in more complex environments). Making somewhere typo
- conflicting names and rebooting such machine leads to not setting any
interface, which is pretty annoying when you're doing it remotely.

I suggest another target (check) which would test current entries in
interfaces file and complain if there's something wrong.

regards
