The way you describe it, it sounds more like a bug. Is there any reason not to file a bug report on it? Search for a similar report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/query.cgi?format=simple And/or file a report on the 'net-tools' package that provides /sbin/ifconfig: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20Core If it does turn out to need a mention in the documentation, then it would belong here somewhere: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide thx - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
