BTW, ctime was sometime on 2006-09-27 and its was rebooted sometime in February of 2008 last, mtime was about 2 months ago, until yesterday.

Or maybe it just forgot to read the existing file first. :-/ Well, now you can find out what package to file the bug against! :-) Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?

When the box rebooted, the first two lines no longer worked so the rule generator kicked in and wrote the new rules starting with the first available interface number. But I can't find exactly when SYSFS was dropped. Just various bits and pieces hinting that SYSFS had been deprecated, documentation with just one word changed, etc.
Post #312,328 by folkert 8/9/09 9:04:43 AM Reply	Oh yes, wise one. I've found the same amount of information. This should have been a MAJOR announcement in the packages notifications, during upgrades. When a major and possibly critical system is seriously changed and could possibly make things "unavailable". Oh well, I guess that is what you get for running SID on a server.
