ifconfig -a blows up if /etc/mac.conf isn't installed
I've figured out that after some recent posix1e upgrades (mac stuff?), ifconfig -a will blow up if mac.conf isn't there: # mv /etc/mac.conf /etc/mac.conf.backup # ifconfig -a fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.6 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:30:48:21:bb:74 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active Memory fault (core dumped) # mv /etc/mac.conf.backup /etc/mac.conf # ifconfig -a fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.6 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:30:48:21:bb:74 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active ti0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING ether 00:02:e3:00:34:10 media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier lp0: flags=8810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 Ken -- Kenneth Merry [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I took a look, and found that line 62 of /usr/src/sbin/ifconfig/ifmac.c returns ENOENT, but the docs say this should return a -1. So this code looks correct. from ifmac.c: if (mac_prepare_ifnet_label(label) == -1) I think the correct fix is in /usr/src/lib/libc/posix1e/mac.c Try this patch, rebuild libc, then rebuild ifconfig. --- lib/libc/posix1e/mac.c.orig Fri Aug 29 22:42:44 2003 +++ lib/libc/posix1e/mac.c Fri Aug 29 22:43:19 2003 @@ -365,7 +365,7 @@ return (mac_prepare(mac, ld-ld_labels)); } - return (ENOENT);/* XXXMAC: ENOLABEL */ + return (-1);/* XXXMAC: ENOLABEL */ } int ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
