interesting - have your tried a bash -x
hmmm...what's the -x do? Can't seem to find it in the man page - something to do with environment?
quick look at man ifconfig suggests, I could be wrong but
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up - should be split into ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
from man SYNOPSIS ifconfig [interface] ifconfig interface [aftype] options | address ...
seems like there is a | between options and address ! or maybe the address should come before any options !
I thought you might be onto something here but it says later in the manpage that specifying an address implies the up option, but then again maybe 0.0.0.0 is not considered an address.....hmmmm gives me something to work with...thanks!!
