Gets a list of IP aliases from /etc/.ipaliases.data. If called
without any arguments, creates aliases for eth0 with those IP's
starting with eth0:0 and continuing sequentially from there. If
called with an argument of 1, deletes all the aliases.
I don't like the way this script is written -- it's too fragile -- but
it'll work. It's quite easy to make both head and tail of if you know
Perl programming (took me about 15 seconds). If you don't know a
language, then any program in that language is gibberish -- I can't
understand Java, for instance, source looks like crap to me :-)
