In CentOS 5.7 and earlier versions, an alias interface is defined via ifcfg-<interface>:foo which contains "ONBOOT=no". The ONBOOT setting appears to be ignored, and the interface always starts when the system boots or if networking is restarted. This is a serious bug that seems to date back many years (I found references in 2005). Anyone know why it hasn't been fixed, or if there is indeed a fix?
