[Fwbuilder-discussion] Active Heartbeat and function getaddr() in generated Firewall-Scripts

[Christian B. <chr...@br...>]

hi,

in fwbuilder 2.0.2 the getaddr()-Function tries to figure out the =
ip-adresse
auf an given interface by using "tail -1" on the output of the "ip -4 =
..."
command.

When using Heartbeat the active clustermember holding "secondaries" =
(e.g.
eth0:0) the problem arises, that getaddr() finds the secondaries but not =
the
primary adresses (i.e. getaddr(eth0) returns the address of eth0:0. This
leads to some "inoperability" of the active cluster member....

I don't now if this is fixed in the newer Versions of fwbuilder - but =
what
do you think about following solution:

ip -4 .... | egrep -e "\$dev$"

I have not checked if it works with getaddr(eth0:0) but it seems, that =
the
modified version of getaddr() will always return the correct address =
(its
tested for primary IP-Adresses :)
