Hi,
    I have the following line in my sysconfig,

ifconfig_sl0="inet myhome.sfsu.edu 130.212.10.163 netmask 0xffffff00"

And at start up, right after the message for this statement, I have
the following message

>ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR):File Exits.

Any idea why there's file exit? I have the similar line after that
for tun0 and I don't get the same "File Exists" message.

Thanx!
