Package: iodine
Version: 0.4.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi!
I would like to use iodine into a vserver. In a vserver, iodine has no
right to create an interface, to assign an IP and to set MTU of the
interface. Therefore, I set all this outside of the vserver and I
would like to provide a way such that iodine does not try to setup the
interface.
I attach a patch that provides such a functionality.
