Maybe you folks have an idea!? > ifconfig works great if I get a fresh tarball of net-tools and recompile it. ifconfig is obselete, so I wouldn't bother too much about it. /sbin/ip is the new all-purpose swiss-knife network configuration tool... /sbin/ip a - shows your ip addresses /sbin/ip r - shows your routing table /sbin/ip l - shows your network interfaces /sbin/ip n - shows your arp table /sbin/ip he - shows a help screen /sbin/ip a he - shows a help screen for IP addresses and so on. /sbin/ip also configures these things as well. MUCH more powerful than /sbin/ifconfig or /sbin/route. ifconfig will not go away any time soon, but essentially it is obselete as it gives you only "traditional" (and limited) access to the kernel's amazing networking internals. IMHO, ifconfig and route are brain-dead. See the advanced linux routing howto (google is your friend) and the docs with the iproute package for more information. > If you answer this mail, please also CC: to oliver@linux-kernel.at, so I > will read the mail for sure. :o) > > Best regards, > Oliver Pitzeier > UNIX/Linux System Administrator Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
