Description Jan Engelhardt 2006-02-03 20:16:33 UTC 
Would it be possible to have BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY (/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template) default to "0" rather than "" (which would pick the brctl default, usually 15s)?
Comment 1 Christian Zoz 2006-02-06 13:14:20 UTC 
ifcfg.template is just a template and serves as container for the variable descriptions (used by yast sysconfig editor). This file will never be sourced.
All we can do here is to set '## Default: 0' which would make yast sysconfig editor to use 0 as default.

And leaving it "" looks much better, because then ifup-bridge will not call 'brctl setfd' at all. So if brctl has a default we do not change that.

Do i misunderstand something? (I don't know much about bridges and brctl.)

ok
Comment 3 Jan Engelhardt 2006-02-06 13:23:37 UTC 
Right, needs to be done in brctl/kernel then. End of bug.
