[Linux-HA] ifconfig syntax error when releasing a FreeBSD IP address

[François Belliard - ELIOS]

Hello

I installed heartbeat 2.0.7 on a FreeBSD 6.1 server.
When I stop heartbeat (heartbeat.sh stop), it can't release correctly 
the IP address (as described below in ha-debug log file) and 
automatically reboot the server.

* /var/log/ha-debug :
  /...
  INFO: /sbin/ifconfig xl0 192.168.8.8 inet  delete
  ifconfig: inet: bad value
  WARNING: IP Address 192.168.8.8 NOT released
  ERROR: IPaddr Generic error
  .../

Is there a bug in IPaddr for FreeBSD ?

Because the "ifconfig" call generated is not correct for FreeBSD ("inet" 
option shifted to the right of the IP address).

When looking in OCF resource "IPaddr", the call to "delete_interface" 
function is

       /delete_interface "$ifname $ipaddr"/

while its definition is

       /delete_interface () {
            ifname="$1"
            ipaddr="$2"

            case "$SYSTYPE" in
               ...
               *BSD)
                   CMD="$IFCONFIG $ifname inet $ipaddr delete"
                   ;;
               .../


so that parameters in the call are interpreted as a single one due to 
the quote usage.
And inside delete_interface function :
$ifname="$1" is initialised with both ifname and ipaddr and
$ipaddr="$2" is set empty
