I had asked a question about an IP that was supposed to be an alias
that was now behaving as the primary IP for the interface.
Thanks to Bill Melvin and Frank Wortner, who suggested I check
/sbin/init.d and /sbin/rc2.d and /sbin/rc3.d. Turns out that there
was a script in /sbin/rc3.d called S50virt-domain, obviously put
there by a Sun person, that had an ifconfig statement of the form:
/sbin/ifconfig le0:1 111.22.33.55 up
^^^^^
Evidently in DU4.0D the system saw this and somehow understood it
as an alias, whereas now in DU4.0F the system is ignoring the ":1"
and treating it as the primary definition for the interface!!!
Thanks again!
