I found this: "All numbers supplied as parts in IPv4 dotted decimal notation may be decimal, octal, or hexadecimal, as specified in the ISO C standard (that is, a leading 0x or 0X implies hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading '0' implies octal; otherwise, the number is interpreted as decimal). Use of hexamedial and octal numbers is not RFC-compliant and therefore its use is discouraged and may go away." As a part of man page here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/ifconfig or http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xns/inet_addr.html
So, it explain this thing clearly. Lack of this information in debian man pages is the bug ;) Tomfi. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
