Does it set the > card, or just the kernel interface? I suspect the latter... The whole shooting match. I have done the exact same thing on several installations. The cable company can't tell the difference between my Apple Powerbook and a FreeBSD firewall/router (which is using the Mac's MAC address). FWIW: ifconfig accepts the new MAC number with colons in it. So one could enter in a format easier to read. Also "ether" is an alias for "lladdr" (Link Level Address). ifconfig fxp1 lladdr 00:a0:cc:28:89:82 -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
