ifplugd may restart ypbind and autofs?
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:16 UTC
If a network connection is handled by ifplugd, we should *consider* reloading/restarting ypbind and autofs. I'm not exactly sure whether there could be some bad side effects, so this is an enhancement request only. Maybe we should consider restarting ypbind only if the domain name changes, and consequently restarting autofs only if the NIS autofs maps were updated.
you can already do this via if-up.d/ifdown.d or pre- and post-scripts. look in the sysconfig documentation (man ifup), if it is not there, open a bug for christian to document it.
I was considering regular customers here, who would like to have this automatically configured. I was sure that there existed some mechanism to manually configure it this way. Anyway, nothing for 10.0.
sed -i '/^# Default-Start:/s/[B0-9 ]*$//p' /etc/init.d/ypbind sed -i '/^# Default-Start:/s/[B0-9 ]*$//p' /etc/init.d/autofs ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<hwdesc>.d/S20portmap ../../../init.d/portmap ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<hwdesc>.d/S30ypbind ../../../init.d/ypbind ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<hwdesc>.d/S40autofs ../../../init.d/autofs ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<hwdesc>.d/K70ypbind ../../../init.d/ypbind ln -s /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-<hwdesc>.d/K60autofs ../../../init.d/autofs Und los geht's
That is not invalid at all. But it is not a bug but a feature request. So please file this request to Code10 instead. sysconfig can do this stuff. All that lacks is a simple way of configuration, maybe via YaST runlevel editor.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
