I have a stock Mandrake 6.1 install (this happens on two systems, one
with the couple of 6.1 updates, one with no updates).
I used linuxconf to set up virtual ip addresses (IP Aliasing). It
doesn't appear to work. There are no aliased interfaces as shown by
ifconfig. I CAN manually ifconfig eth0:0 x.x.x.x and it works fine.
Rebooting does not configure the interfaces (though
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network reload" should have configured the interfaces,
I figured that rebooting could not hurt. 8-)
I poked thru the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and everything appears
to be correct. I thought that the default kernel might nor have IP
Aliasing configured, so I downloaded the Mandrake kernel SRPM and looked
at .config files, and it appears that they DO compile with IP Aliasing.
I've seen one other post to alt.os.linux.mandrake about the problem, but
there was no soluition (in fact there was only one reply and that was
not useful)
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
