Subject: extra interfaces?

What the heck are all these extra interfaces besides ed0 and lo0?

smokey ~$ ifconfig -a
ed0: flags=c863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 128.95.75.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.95.75.255
lp0: flags=810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
tun0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500

I cannot find in /etc/rc where these are started.  This box is connected to
ethernet, so there's no need for SLIP or PLIP.
