Subject:   unwanted ip address change
Message-ID:  <01cb01be4ae2$0addb980$5531d5c6@earth.coserve.org>

For some reason, today my ip adress changed without me wanting it to change.
Result, our webserver and mail server was down.
Somehow the rc.conf change the ip address of one of the NIC's from
xxx.xxx.xxx.3 to xxx.xxx.xxx.100.
When I tried to change it manually using ifconfig (first by disabling the
100 configuration (down)), it gave me some weird problem.
So I ended up rebooting the server and with the changes in the rc.conf file
everything worked out fine.
I'm just wondering, where can I find more info on what happened (which log
files) and what could have caused this to happen?
Thanks,

Alain
