Is there an easy way to delete all aliases on an interface under -stable (and not nuke the main IP address)? Currently, you can do: for (the number of aliases + 1) ifconfig <interface> delete which will sequentially delete all aliases and addresses on the interface, but I'd rather do something that doesn't actually delete the primary interface address as well. I know that under -current, you can con it in to listing all interfaces, but is there something that can be done under -stable? (The problem with deleting them all is that with tcp_keepalives enabled, oftentimes the command will hang after the primary interface has been deleted, and the command will terminate. Yes, you can nohup it, but it's an icky workaround. -Dave -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
