Hi Managers,
My original question was:
> how to introduce a permanent IP alias address for an interface?
> The ifconfig flag "alias <IP-address>" in netsetup does not work.
Thank's to all who responded.
I followed the suggestion of Arrigo Triulzi <arrigo_at_lpac.ac.uk> to create
a script file /sbin/init.d/netalias that executes the command
/sbin/ifconfig <interface> alias <adress>
I just corrected the name S001netalias to S01netalias.

You need to add a small script in /sbin/init.d/ say
/sbin/init.d/netalias (take the skeleton from lpd), then link it in
/sbin/rc[0-6].d at the appropriate spot, prob as
ln -s /sbin/init.d/netalias /sbin/rc3.d/S001netalias
ln -s /sbin/init.d/netalias /sbin/rc2.d/K549netalias
(the numbers are chosen to get the correct execution order during
bootup, S to start, K to kill).
Ciao,
Arrigo
