I have notices on a couple of my NetBSD 4.0 servers that one or more /etc/ifconfig.* files will get over written during a reboot. Can someone help me explain why this is happening.I don't know. What is it overwritten with? (What is the new content in them?) And what is the timestamp?Maybe use chflags to make unwritable and see if you get any messages about attempts at boot?Jeremy C. Reed
