A question about the interfaces: section... We've got some extra parameters that we commonly want to submit to ifconfig. The docs indicate the following parameters:
INTERFACENAME netmask=NETMASK broadcast=BROADCAST Can we add additional things that would be passed to ifconfig? Pointedly, we'd like to use cfengine to manage some aliased interfaces on AIX, where the typical command line for ifconfig is: /etc/ifconfig en5 inet rg650-admin-app1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.9.130.255 alias What this is doing is to add the address 10.9.130.206 (aka rg650-admin-app1) as an alias to which the ethernet card "en5" should respond. It looks in the source as though ifconf.c uses ioctls directly to do things; I *presume* that means I can't use the built-in cfengine interface definition mechanism, and will have to go straight to "shellcommands:" Is that right? Or am I on crack? :-) -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "moc.liamg" "@" "enworbbc")) http://cbbrowne.com/info/slony.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #79.
