Change Details

This task will track a report on the forum of vyos-configd restart, caused by adding a NAT rule. Not yet confirmed, the description will be updated with further details when reproduced.

A discussion on the VyOS Forum https://forum.vyos.io/t/commit-causing-vyos-configd-service-to-exit-and-restart/5945 reports several instances of a UnicodeDecodeError causing a restart of vyos-configd. Interestingly, the unrelated reports show the error as being for byte 0xf1 at the //same// position (127032), despite the different config files, at least one of which has no such position. It is suspected to be a zmq bug, as some unicode related issues have been reported for recent versions, though a root cause has not yet been isolated. Pending discovery of the root cause, the workaround discussed in the forum will be added.
