I am experimenting with IPv6 and I can't seem to remove an IPv6 address from an interface, eg I have.. But I can't remove it, viz..

yes, man ifocnfig says ifconfig [-L] [-k] [-m] interface [create] [address_family] [address [dest_address]] [parameters] The following parameters may be set with ifconfig: -alias Remove the network address specified. This would be used if you ... Conclusion: -alias is a "parameter" and belongs to the end after the address. The it works for IPv4 is "pure luck". /bz -- Bjoern A.
