Re: Problem with adding multiple interfaces on a System

["Jonathan Abbey" <jonabbey@arlut.utexas.edu>]

| Greetings,
|
| I'm been playing around with dev4a of Ganymede using the GASH
| scheme. I've run across a problem when trying to add a second
| Interface to a System. After clicking on the add interface button, the
| exception below occurs. The Client adds the Name textfield and the
| Aliases vector to the System Interface already present in the
| System. It never adds the second frame for the new System Interface,
| but it is visible if the System is viewed. And Clicking on Confirm, I
| get dialog window saying the IP Network, IP Address and Ethernet Info
| is missing.
 
Stephen, thanks very much for the bug report.  Ordinarily, it would be
more helpful if you could run the client without having a just-in-time
compiler enabled so that the stack trace would include line numbers,
but in this case your description of the problem was detailed enough
and the problem repeatable enough that Mike was able to track down the
problem.
 
We've got the code sort of in a non-releasable state at the moment, as
we are doing a sweep through the permissions system, making some
revisions to support delegation of admininstrative privileges without
making all such decisions necessarily be made by the root
administrator.  We'll put out a dev4b within the next few days with
the problem you reported fixed.
 
Out of curiosity, were you using GASH previously, or did you just
initialize the server with the GASH schema and go from there entering
data?  How large a network are you looking to manage?  Have things
seemed reasonably intuitive?
