There wouldn't be any need for an extra script. Although I wrote the second script, I realised that it was virtually identical to the existing one. Therefore, you can just add the few lines of code that deal with an alias argument into the existing ip4-static. I'll do this if you want, although those few lines can just be copied from the script that was originally sent. <snip> > Plus the net-tools tarball is six years old.

True, but I still find myself using ifconfig because it's easier to remember the syntax :-) Andy Beverley -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
