try running "ip addr"

There are some aliases that will not be reported back by ifconfig.

Hello LUGgers.

Here is an interesting mystery for anyone interesting. I'd love if anyone could explain it. The following is cut and paste directly from my bash session and not edited in anyway. What the $*#$^ is going on here?

I have reset all the routers between these two machines in case somehow they were responding to ARP requests instead of the target machine. I've done everything except for resetting the target itself. Also I have a daemon on the target which is doing 'C' system calls with getifaddrs(&ifap) library calls and it reports back both 192.168.11.50 and 192.168.11.133 even though ifconfig does not.

Anybody have a clue what is going on here?

cheers,
Darryl
