<html><body>Hi Tom/Lennart, I am interested in extending networkd with dbus API for runtime configuration of interfaces. This thead <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032136.html">(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032136.html</a>) started the discussion on the requirements of the dbus interfaces. I would like to explore this further. For a start, I hacked the code from networkd-dhcp4.c to implement a SetAddress method on the org.freedesktop.network1.Network interface: /* index, IP, netmask, family, flags, scope, gateway */ SD_BUS_METHOD("SetAddress", "yssyyys", "x", method_set_address, SD_BUS_VTABLE_UNPRIVILEGED), The goal is to have the user space app(s) in our system to make link/network configuration changes by calling the dbus API *instead of* making changes to networkd config files. Please revert back with your views/ideas. thanks in advance, Hari ! Hariharasubramanian R.
