Hi,

the following rc.inet1 is able to handle ip aliases.
It's modified one from a slackware 9.1

rc.inet1.conf has to look like (e.g.):

-----------
DEV[0]="eth0"
IPADDR[0]="192.168.0.1"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

DEV[1]="eth0:0"
IPADDR[1]="192.168.0.2"
NETMASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[1]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
-----------------------

Comments are welcome.
Regards,
Nikolas
