The other IP addresses are unset. From man ifconfig: | If the address is on the same subnet as the first network address for | this interface, a netmask of 0xffffffff has to be specified. Use netmask 255.255.255.255 for the aliases. No FreeBSD problem. Nicolas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
