Is someone upset about a gated bug, a >FreeBSD bug or a little of both? Background details please! Thanks! Summary: 1. There's a miscompatibility between aliases on interfaces and gated, at least under FreeBSD. Popular opinion blames gated. 2. I submitted a FreeBSD PR about it, but received no useful replies until someone referred someone to me about it and I mentioned that I had received no useful replies, at which point in time someone told me that it was a gated bug, not a FreeBSD one. That's about it, there's nothing too sinister here. I think you've probably missed bits of the conversation because someone included a misspelled email address (hackers@feeebsd.org) along the way. -- Adrian Corston Network Consulting & Technical Support adrian@internode.com.au Internode Systems, Adelaide, South Australia Hobbies: Chorister (B2).
