Hi,

Has anyone got any objections to the following lines in /etc/netstart ?

# Set up all he network interfaces, calling startup scripts if needed
for ifn in ${network_interfaces}; do
	if [ -e /etc/start_if.${ifn} ]; then
		. /etc/start_if.${ifn} ${ifn}
	fi
	eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}
	ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args}
	eval aliases=\$alias_${ifn}
	if [ -n "$aliases" ]; then
		for alias in $aliases; do
			ifconfig ${ifn} inet $alias netmask 0xffffffff alias
		done
	fi
	ifconfig ${ifn}
done

Cheers,
