Hi,
I was configuring one new interface in one of my new machines, and I
disabled ipv6 with -inet6 as I always do. But I handcrafted the
hostname.if file and forgot to put a NONE in the broadcast address. This
caused the ifconfig to segfault when called from the /etc/netstart
script. For example:
/etc/hostname.if:
inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 -inet6
result: ifconfig segfault.
/etc/hostname.if:
inet 1.2.4.5 255.255.255.0 NONE -inet6
result: everything work as usual.
I am using 5.5 stable. Can't post the dmesg right now, but will
do this night. I will also take a look at the core dump, see if I can
pinpoint where are the bits responsible for the segfault.
Cheers,
