This would not account for the fact it only happens during reboot (but
perhaps that was the only time you checked): can you list inodes of
the 2 files (the 'changed' one and the one whose contents are used
instead) using e.g. "ls -i /etc/ifconfig*" and verify they are
actually different ?

Take care,
