#2392 Wrongly formed routing and interfaces - extra "quotes"!

[Simon]

in etc/conf.d/net with Gentoo Webimn adds extra quotes
outside brackets, which is wrong. For example the
correct syntax is:
config_eth0=( "192.168.99.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )

but Webmin gives you

config_eth0="( "192.168.99.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" )"
routes_eth0="( "default gw 192.168.0.1" )"

As a consequnce interfaces (ifconfig fails) don't load
and routes aren't created

I can't see how this could happen in the Webmin code.
Are you using the version that comes from www.webmin.com ,
or one installed using Gentoo's emerge?
Also, which Webmin version are you running?
