Package: vzctl Version: 3.0.22-14 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
``/etc/vz/dists/scripts/debian-add_ip.sh`` generates the virtual machine's ``/etc/network/interfaces`` by appending virtual interface configuration to the VM's ``/etc/network/interfaces.template``. Besides the name being quite misleading (it's not a template at all), there are serious problems if one just wants to enable an additional interface *after* the other ones (e.g. for setting a new alias on ``venet0`` for private communication with the host). The attached patch enables the use of ``/etc/network/interfaces.head`` as well as ``/etc/network/interfaces.tail``. The first one is appended to the resulting ``interfaces`` file *before* the virtual interface info (and before the so-called "template"), and the second one is appended at the end.
