Hi misc@,

Lets say I have a 192.168.0.1/24 alias on an interface. When I run
ifconfig with the delete or -alias parameters and specify 192.168.0.1/32
as the address, the 192.168.0.1/24 alias gets removed.

Is this desired behavior? Shouldn't ifconfig report an error because the
mask doesn't match?

I guess this could create problems when one is deleting a large number of /32
aliases, mistakengly catching also the main /24 address.
