There is a long pause between the command and the error: # ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.238 netmask 0xffffffff alias ifconfig: 0xffffffff: bad value > root@khavrinen$ ifconfig ed0 alias 18.26.25.25 netmask 255.255.255.255 But if I use 255.255.255.255 for the netmask, it works! Shouldn't both notations be correct? -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
