This is still a mystery to me. They are different files.Is this some side affect from the /etc/security script? That is the only place I can find that has copies.
Has anyone else noted this? Do many folk run multiple nics? Steve Pribyl Senior Infrastructure Practitioner Peel, Inc 990 Grove St. Suite 204 Evanston, IL 60201 Phone: 847-424-0954 ex 14 Cell: 847-343-2349 Fax: 847-424-0986 spribyl%peel.com@localhost On 05/21/2008 08:59 AM, Michai Ramakers wrote:
Hi,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.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, Michai
