Alias are enter with /32.
huh? hell no.
OK, but all examples show it as such in man(5) hostname.if and such.
You are apparently reading manpages for a different operating system
or the OpenBSD man pages you are reading have been terribly corrupted,
because hostname.if on my system has no such nonsense.
Unless you refer at me writing /32 instead of the long way 255.255.255.255?
If so, yes you are 100% right. I use the /32 to express the mask in a
shorter way. If that's the confusion, I am sorry to have created that.
It's an old habit hard to die, I find it much more convenient to always
express the IP's in that form oppose to use the long mask.
I never tried to enter it into the hostname.if file as a configuration I
don't think it support it anyway, I do not know.
So, if that's the no sense you are referring at from my part, then my
apologies, you are 100% right.
I refer at needed to have one instance of the alias to have the proper
mask and all additional one part of the same subnet needed the
255.255.255.255 mask oppose to all instance of alias using only the
255.255.255.255 form. That was and isn't clean in the man page.
Hope this make sense now. (;>
