Early versions of ifconfig had a bug that clobbered the flags word if you attempted to set more than one thing at a time. If this is the problem, just set each option with a different ifconfig, i.e., /etc/ifconfig il0 `hostname` /etc/ifconfig il0 up /etc/ifconfig il0 -trailers /etc/ifconfig il0 arp The current version of ifconfig is 4.8. The problem was fixed in version 4.6, Nov. 7, '83. -Van (Jacobson@lbl-csam)
