I tend towards disallowing -alias without argument for reasons of
consistency and for the reasons of preventing foot-shooting as you
describe. This is not the first time we've run into problems with
ifconfig(8) arguments.
Secondly, pardon my ignorance, but what does 'NS' refer to here? That
string / term occurs nowhere else in ifconfig(8).
Old Xerox comms protocols.
Perhaps I'm missing a valid (and used) usage of -alias with no address?
I touched ifconfig.8 last. I'm very happy to check in a patch from somebody.
Kind regards,
