Description

The configure_networking.vbs script, which identifies the private and public network interfaces for use by vcld, does not gracefully handle the case where additional network interfaces are created by VirtualBox, VMware, or other software. Because there are now more than the normal two, the script has a difficult time identifying privarte vs. public. The end result is that the script sets the public interface to 0.0.0.0. That further leads to the machine not properly bringing up sshd and the management nodes never completing reservations.
