apparently, net-tools_1.58-1 is broken. i saw that problem yesterday, and couldn't get any of my interfaces up, so i needed to us the `ip' command to get back on the network, grab an older net-tools from testing and that fixed it. it seems that net-tools_1.58-2 works okay though, so grab that and get it installed. - -- ____________________}John Flinchbaugh{______________________ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.hjsoft.com/~glynis/ | ~~Powered by Linux: Reboots are for hardware upgrades only~~ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjqKq+MACgkQCGPRljI8080UtQCfUOHTkmQ+woErpTjdparCo92B iXcAoIG1o2CZS8raBCQwqYIrC01bfaUm =zs/s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
