/etc/ini.d/ipfm stop takes down the interface



Hi

I'm using the package ipfm from woody.

I upgraded it today. I notices that running "/etc/init.d.ipfm stop" has a
nasty side-effect of taking down the interface. This seems to have
happened with the older version of the package as well.

The system I have here has three network interfaces, and runs ipfm on eth1
. To recover from that I have to run:

  ifdown eth1; ifup eth1


For example:

# /etc/init.d/ipfm stop
Stopping IP Flow Meter: ipfm.
# ifup eth1
ifup: interface eth1 already configured
# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:95:01:25:5F
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:8908065 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:8905309 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:7560 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:2384596506 (2.2 GiB)  TX bytes:3330345530 (3.1 GiB)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6100
# ifdown eth1
SIOCDELRT: No such process
SIOCDELRT: No such process
SIOCDELRT: No such process
# ifup eth1
#

The system runs kernel 2.2.20 .

Any ideas about how to stop ipfm from such mis-behaviours?
