I happened to upgrade my firewall+webserver and now the firewall part is bust...
in Feisty I used to bring up my external ip-addresses using commands like dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1 dhcpcd -I someotherid eth0:2 but after upgrading to Gutsy today an to Hardy shortly after I found out dhcp stopped working in the previous upgrade, dhcpcd, ifup with dhcp or dhclient can't any more do anything to eth0:*. I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address and similar error messages. Removing wireless-tools has no effect. BUT!! If I do the following: sudo ifconfig eth0:1 1.2.3.4 dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1 I get dhcpcd -I someid eth0:1 as I normally should, but still ifconfig shows no eth0:1. Manually assigned aliases (ifconfig eth0:2 $ip) do show up in ifconfig listings just as they should. So, something is broken in the two newest releases. No apparent reason why dhcp:ing aliases shouldn't work any more. -- 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
