Subject: multiple IP# for one IF ?
Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 16:57:39 +0100 (GMT+0100)
is there a way to assign more than one IP address to an network
device ?
e.g.:
eth0 193.160.50.2
and
eth0 193.160.50.3
Not a problem. Use Robert Sander's ipalias patch. Works great for me.

You can get the first version of the 'ifconfig alias' patch from
ftp://ftp.mindspring.com/users/rsanders/ipalias. Check out the 00index
and README.alias files there. If you don't have FTP capability, let
me know.

P.S. The documentation doesn't mention this, but netstat needs read access
to /dev/kmem to print out the alias list for an interface. You can
probably do something like this:
chgrp kmem /dev/kmem netstat
chmod 664 /dev/kmem
chmod 2755 netstat
