no, that is wrong. > In that case the carp interface naturally remains at INIT. it remains at init because afaict there is no IP address on that interface (once again incomplete output has been presented...). carp doesn't work without and stays in init. and the macaddr depends on the vhid so it is set late-ish. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
