In-Reply-To: <199906162005.QAA06745@lakes.dignus.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG To add more to this - tracing through in.c in the kernel, I see that when you configure an interface it eventually works its way down to rtrequest - to add a route for the new interface. I believe rtrequest() is the one returning EEXIST which is what causes ifconfig on sl0 to always complain "File exists". Now - why would rtrequest() believe there's a route already there? I made sure there was nothing in the GATEWAY and NAMESERVER field, just in case sysinstall was issuing the route somehow. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
