Subject: Unable to alias IP's in 4.5


It seems from FreeBSD version 4.5 on I am unable to alias IP addresses to a
NIC card if the IP I am trying to alias has the same netmask as the
previously bound IP.

I get nothing but a file exists error from ifconfig.

I have been doing this since 3.4 so Im wondering what has changed.
