Hello,
I had the same kind of issue this morning with facter issuing "Timed
out seeking value for ipaddress", while i was fighting with a new DNS
configuration on a CentOS 5.3 box.
I think i have found a little bug in facter/ipaddress.rb:
if you look at the output of ifconfig on that box, you get:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:31:3A:00:55:86
inet adr:10.251.90.116 Bcast:10.251.91.255 Masque:
255.255.254.0
^
while the regular expression used for Linux boxes in facter/
ipaddress.rb is:
if str =~ /inet addr:([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/
^
i think it should be something along
/inet ad+r: .../
That one makes facter fallback on dns resolution to get the IP
address, which is not an option in my environment, and doesn't work
when no DNS server is available.
Patching my /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ipaddress.rb makes
everything work as expected (and way faster). I don't have many
different distributions to test on but ifconfig issue "inet adr: ..."
on the following systems:
- Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)
- CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
- Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS (Hardy Heron) i386
I am also not sure the "fallback to Resolv.getaddress" is very
appropriate when one cannot parse the output of ifconfig, or if the
network configuration is invalid ...
Thanks,
Erwan
