Then, what do you use to list multiple IPs on a single interface? ifconfig simply doesn't support it. IMHO, if there's distros with ifconfig but not ip, then such distro doesn't deserve much attention. The standard *is* ip, it's a much more powerful tool that does all you need (you can't say the same thing with ifconfig). > Anyway it's up to the user to choose the commands he wants. > If that was truth, then let's forget about Debian and let's use Windows. Also, for example, d-i has ip, but not ifconfig, IIRC. Also, if the user is using the wrong tool, we might want to teach him the right way. Also... So I'm afraid it's not *always* up to the user to choose, for the good or the worst. By the way: echo "alias ifconfig='ip a'" >>.bashrc problem solved... ;) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
