The quicker way to solve your alias startup problem:
- go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
- copy ifcfg-eth0 as ifcfg-eth0:0
- edit ifcfg-eth0:0 and remember to change DEVICE=eth0 to DEVICE=eth0:0,
and the IP address and netmask (if a broadcast entry is present, of course
update it too)
For linuxconf users, linuxconf does the same thing, but sometimes mess the
things up (it did it once on a system with about 30 aliases, and it was a
pain to fix them back...)
