Scenario: Alpha 4/100 system running 3.2G. I added a secondary address
(on the same subnet) to the Ethernet interface by doing:
ifconfig tu0 <new IP address> netmask 0xffffff00 alias
This worked just fine, I could access the new address from the machine
itself and from the outside.
However, having tested my software, I attempted to delete the secondary
address again with
ifconfig tu0 <new IP address> delete
To my horror, the secondary address I had added *and* the primary IP
address were deleted. This was reported by ifconfig, and then I lost
contact with the machine (of course), since I was logged in over the
net :-(
So my question is: How can I delete *only* the secondary address?
