Description Aaron Peterson 2004-07-03 12:57:50 UTC
Basically, a segfault is bad...
There should be error checking, and an error message that says to configure the /etc/conf.d/net file

Also, being stuck without a network means that the error message is even more important.

bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
/sbin/runscript.sh: /etc/conf.d/net: line 221: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/sbin/runscript.sh: /etc/conf.d/net: line 221: `preup_macchanger() {'
Segmentation fault
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/sbin/runscript.sh: /etc/conf.d/net: line 221: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/sbin/runscript.sh: /etc/conf.d/net: line 221: `preup_macchanger() {'
Segmentation fault
bash-2.05b# vi /etc/conf.d/net
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
 * Bringing eth0 up...
 *   eth0 192.168.0.3                                                                   [ ok ]
 *   Adding routes
 *     default gw 192.168.0.1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade.. and accidentally wipe out network settings...
2. try to manually bring up the interface
3. see it crash
4. wonder if my etc-update went arye (sp?)

Actual Results:  
I was able to get everything working, and so would the average person... but
always build for the n00bs is a good philosophy.. it also safes time and
frustration, and gives a sence of quality.

Expected Results:  
error message outlining possible errors
