I have various systems with two or three nics and appropriate 
ifconfig.if files and never met such a problem.

I don't see anything in security report and would only expect to do 
so after I'd made a change.

What are file permissions and ownership?

Has the interface been restarted with new configuration?

Is there anything suspicious in rc.conf or rc.local or even a 
forgotten about cron job.
