/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

# ifup eth1

The system runs kernel 2.2.20 .
Any ideas about how to stop ipfm from such mis-behaviours?
