Hi.
On earlier versions of cobbler there was an if_gateway_<interface> and
an appropriate switch in cobbler system add for setting it. And this
did what you'd expect, it put the GATEWAY shell variable assignment in
the ifcfg_<interface> file.
So I took my backup serveer and put C7.0 on and the newest cobbler and
started working in it. In the older 6.5 cobbler I have running, the
network_config SNIPPET I believed looked at if_gateway_<interface> and
did the right thing. Somehow the value got put in the
ifcfg_<interface> file. The newest one I have on my backup server
doesn't do this. the SNIPPET only looks at the gateway and if
ifcfg_<interface> is all you have set, gripes mightily about gateway
being the wrong format. Nothing gets put in ifcfg_<interface> and if
gateway is set that goes very neatly into /etc/sysconfig/network.
Does anyone know when this behavior changed?
Thanks.
