Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: wishlist
one of the first examples in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/exmamples/network-interfaces.gz is:
# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.0.42
# network 192.168.0.0
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
I think we should be removing "network" and "broadcast" from these examples.
These addresses should be calculated correctly except in cases where the user
is doing sometihng so very non-standard that they know enough to find these
options on their own. Showing these settings to the casual user risks making
the casual user think that they should be specifying these options, which are
almost never ever needed, and therefore needlessly introducing a place to make
errors.
thanks,
stew
