| I recently installed Slackware 9.1 and when I execute the ifconfig command it shows me my interfaces but then seg faults. I have some scripts that depend on the output of ifconfig but they no longer function since ifconfig is exiting with an error it appears the output is not being passed through the pipe i.e. ifconfig | grep eth0 doesn't work since ifconfig exits with an error (exits with a non-zero status in $?). This started as soon as I installed Slack 9.1. Anyone else have this problem? Is ifconfig available by itself so I can just download and compile it? Google hasn't helped me out with this issue yet. Although I am planning on doing more searching. |

You can download the package it comes in from: <URL:$MIRROR/slackware-9.1/source/n/tcpip/net-tools-1.60.tar.bz2> & <URL:$MIRROR/slackware-9.1/source/n/tcpip/net-tools.diff.gz>. You can compile it using (a modified version of how Pat does it): zcat net-tools.diff.gz | patch -p1 --backup make ifconfig su -c install -m 0755 ifconfig /sbin -- Simon <simon@no-dns-yet.org.uk> **** GPG: F4A23C69 "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty." - Douglas Adams |
