I found an undocumented 'feature' in FreeBSD today while doing some cleanups ... we ordered a terminal server to allow us to do remote admin on the servers, but, unfortunately, we're still waiting for it to arrive, so we're waiting for a tech to reset the server ...

Stupid question for someone running Linux ... is this standard behaviour that I've been lucky never to hit before, or is this something that Linux deals with slightly more intelligently? ---- Marc G.

Well in linux you would do something like this: ifconfig <dev> If you want an alias it is: ifconfig <dev>:<alias> If you don't specify a parameter such as up it will just display the current config. If there is no current config it just display the default. So in short, no Linux will not do what you ran into. At least not in the same manner. On any init.d based Linux system (gentoo, redhat, suse) the only thing I have found really annoying is that it doesn't confirm for the following: /etc/init.d/network stop I have more than once, really late at night typed that command when meaning to be /etc/init.d/sendmail stop Sincerely, Joshua D.

I used to have a script on my remote server that I was running in BG before to touch the network, that script was bringing up the network if was down for more then 2 minutes. My server is now hosted in my house and I do not need it anymore, I changed it with the no-ip script :-) Regards Gaetano Mendola

I have had to change the main IP address of a remote server a couple of times, so I used a script like Gaetano's (though I measured time in terms of seconds, usually less than ten, not minutes). But you weren't given the chance :-) > Then again, I think I've been lucky so far in that I've never done an 'rm > -rf /' either :) Very lucky indeed. I did that (or equivalents like rm -fr /lib) at least two times. Unrelated: I just noticed that you added the mboxen to lists archives.
