>Description:

When /etc/rc.d/network is invoked with no arguments, it provides a
list of valid arguments.  Not all these arguments do something
meaningful, and display an error message which is somewhat bogus.

>How-To-Repeat:

# /etc/rc.d/network
Usage: /etc/rc.d/network [fast|force](start|stop|restart|rcvar)
# /etc/rc.d/network rcvar
# network
/etc/rc.d/network: WARNING $network is not set properly.
$network=NO
# /etc/rc.d/network restart
/etc/rc.d/network: WARNING $network is not set properly.

>Fix:

None provided.
