272	avahi-autoipd cannot up the device and exits	Diego.SantaCruz	lennart	"avahi-autoipd drops root privileges by default but then it cannot up the device if some other program downs it after avahi-autoipd has started. It then exits.

The error message is ""SIOCSIFFLAGS failed: Permission denied"".

I think the solution would be to use a script through the callout mechanism to do ""ip link set $IFACE up"" instead of using the SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl in interface_up().

An alternative would be to keep the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability when switching the uid, but I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of having the callout mechanism."	defect	closed		avahi-autoipd	wontfix
