Turns out that the aliased IP need a netmask of 255.255.255.255 (then it works) Is this "standard"? The reason I ask is that I have both SCO OpenServer _and_ SCO UnixWare, and both of those OSes use the _same_ netmask as the original IP. Does the SysV implementation of ifconfig differ from that of the BSD one? This seems like a very fundamental difference, and I'd really like to know how it occured. -- Jim Pazarena mailto:paz@ccstores.com http://www.qcislands.net/paz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
