How ? ipfwadm (resp /proc/net/ip_*) does not tell me what aliased interfaces are in use, if i don't know.
And to collect statistics via ipfwadm rules needs priviledges not avail to any userspace program, but peviously by reading /proc files this was possible.
My initial point was: The information about aliased interfaces in use is no longer present in the /proc filesystem (esp. /proc/net/dev).
Well, now i learned you and Alexey are both telling me that this will not change back, right ?
No big problem, i can live with the removal, but i like to know if it is final.
(Sorry, to lengthen this thread),
Erik
