Besides that, everything works as designed. Also when I use gifconfig gifn delete and then 'sh /etc/rc.network start' again; everything works, but no info visible, corruption of output stays the same. got# gifconfig -a gif0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 physical address z¸PÕ --> gif1: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 physical address z¸PÕ --> got# ifconfig |grep gif gif0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 gif1: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280 But the interfaces are configured with valid ip addresses in rc.conf and work correctly. >How-To-Repeat: No idea, besides typing gifconfig -a or ifconfig |grep gif you cannot reproduce this straight away, after a fresh boot, but it seems to happen over the time, when its already running a while; --> 6:55PM up 111 days, 32 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.02, 0.19 I don't want to boot the firewall, just to see if it works again, because I remember some time ago, when I configured it first, it displayed all correctly. >Fix: It's hard to tell, if you do not understand, how this could happen at all. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
