From: mdudley on 22 Mar 2010 14:38 I have FreeBSD server that I just hooked up to my home network. I got it talking on the net, but the ifconfig contains 16 extra entries that read like this: inet 216.176.199.204 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 216.176.199.255 only the first entry which goes to the local 192.168.1.78 is correct. How can I remove these extra invalid entries? They are not in the rc.conf file, or anywhere else in etc or any of it subdirs that I can find. Thanks, Marshall

Substitute the actual interface on your system for fxp0 in the above example. There must be a script somewhere adding those 16 alias addresses to the interface. Have you tried looking in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to see if there may be a culprit script there? -- John Marshall

I have no idea why the hosting company set it up that way except probably more incompetence, it sure is different than the way I have set up my other servers. Renamed the file and rebooted, and now it is correct. Thanks, Marshall |
