I'm aware of the differences in how iproute2 constructs interfaces, and the command syntax, (I do a lot of rule-based routing work), but I appreciate the concern. I can believe that you've never encountered an application or situation where aliased interfaces become awkward. I didn't think it was asking a lot, to believe me that they do exist. But it sounds like maybe you don't, so here goes: * Have you ever tried versioning your system/build configurations in SVN? * And did any of those system/build configurations include 'ifcfg-eth0:0'-style alias config files? * And then, did you try checking out those config SVN repos, for developer access, on Windows workstations? If you don't have that experience, or something similar, then I can understand why you don't appreciate my grumbling over a "method which works for the rest of us." -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
