I get the following message during boot up when rc.network is doing the ifconfig commands: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists However, everything seems to be OK and the alias address is created for de0. Why is it complaining and what could I have done to cause this? On another note, I did install kerberos, but have can I get the utilities not to use it? I plan to enable it later on when I've got the system stable. I checked all of the kerberos man pages. Thanks, Kory
