There is no problem calling "ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.141.30 up" to set up a virtual device. I just wonder why it is not possible to define a virtual device via an ifcfg-file so that /etc/init.d/network will set such a device up.
Hm? Is not the IPADDR / IPADDR_2 thing enough?
Yes it is. I just made a mistake thinking about routing entries. But of course I can set an additional routing entry for eth0 as well as for eth0:0. So, yes, it's enough, ignore my last mail :-) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
