If you're on 9.2-R or higher... there are multiple ways... First way... Use sysrc(8)... sysrc ifconfig_net0="DHCP" sysrc ifconfig_net0_alias0="inet 1.2.3.4/24" NOTE: See "man sysrc" for more info Need more control? Use a shell API library... # At the top of your rc... . /usr/share/bsdconfig/sysrc.subr # Then wherever you want... f_sysrc_set ifconfig_net0 DHCP f_sysrc_set ifconfig_net0_alias0 "inet 1.2.3.4/24" NOTE: Works on 9.2-R+ NOTE: If you're on 11.0-C or higher, there's an API reference... see "bsdconfig includes -d sysrc" for sysrc API references However, you'll need to be aware, that if you intend to change these values *during* the boot process... the newly modified values may not take effect for the current boot, as the values are aggressively cached (for which there is a patch by Sir Percival to address -- see SVN r258894 for additional information on that). -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
