Jacques, I think it's time you add the netmask feature for aliases, as in 2.0.x kernel you can easily access a list of aliases (each alias IS an interface), you can patch (Bad Idea (TM)) scripts, but in 2.1.x kernels, each interface has a list of address/netmask pairs and patching is not so trivial... -- Marcelo --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
