Well - I went back to find out.
First - when you do the network setup (which I assume is the first
ifconfig executed) you get the ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR) message.
You have to ignore that, go ahead and do a commit to get the shell
up on VTY4.
Then, after the shell is up, I can do ifconfig -a and see:
# ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c011<UP,POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
inet 10.0.0.98 --> 10.0.0.99 netmask 0xffffff00
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
So - it seems the ifconfig was successful, even though
ifconfig claims it failed.
