/etc/hostname.if Inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 NONE -inet6 # ksh /etc/netstart # ifconfig ## NO PROBLEM
/etc/hostname.if Inet 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 -inet6 # ksh /etc/netstart ifconfig: -inet6: bad value ## NO SEGMENTATION FAULT So, IMHO, if there is any problem at all, of course it should be due to the ''correctness'' of the line in /etc/hostname. We should check if the parsing of such file is OK (by that I mean of course to check for the correctness of the values ) But AFAIK , and As Far I've tested /etc/hostname.if for different, WRONG LINES, it has never cause ifconfig to segfault.
