Bug 104397

Summary:	baselayout-1.11.13-r1 creates "._cfg0000_net.eth0" as a symlink to net.lo

Description Jeremy Johnson 2005-08-31 10:32:03 UTC

It seems baselayout creates the replacement file for net.eth0 as a symlink to
net.lo so if you overwrite the current net.eth0 it becomes a symlink to net.lo.
 After a reboot the only network interface I had configured was lo.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge baselayout-1.11.13-r1
2. ls -l /etc/init.d/._*

Actual Results:  
You can see /etc/init.d/._cfg0000_net.eth0 -> net.lo

Expected Results:  
This should be a file, not a symlink.

Now I was testing the behavior on this machine so some of this stuff will be a
bit out of date.

no, net.eth0 should be a symlink now, not a net.lo

Comment 2 Jeremy Johnson 2005-08-31 14:04:41 UTC

Well that's just weird.  After reading your comment I went back to the computer
I just upgraded baselayout on and it actually has the correct net.lo in the
update.  For some reason on the other computers baselayout was updated on, it
didn't replace net.lo so it set every device up as 127.0.0.1.

Sorry for the bug report, I'll look back on the other computers to see if I can
figure out where I or it went wrong.  Thanks for the quick response.
