problem reported by Klaus Kudielka <kudielka@ieee.org>.
Also an ifconfig patch for alias deletion from
Roman Sulzhyk <roman@staff.prodigy.com>.  I'm not too happy
with this one but I put it in anyway.  Andi, see what you
think (look at ifconfig.c about line 1100).  Is there really
no better way to delete an alias?

unsigned long in userland.
Also, update version number in the spec file.

(Partly taken from the Debian netbase package.)
Released as 1.49

day or so this will be net-tools 1.49.

just 8, to help people with lots (!!) of aliases.

Various small makefile tweaks.
Released as 1.48

Bump RELEASE to 1.48.

Move some helper functions to interface.c.
Tweak `netstat -i' output format to allow more
room for packet counts.

socket. Based (loosely) on a patch from
"Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>

reported)

- Various cleanups and bug fixes.

- Better error message for ENODEV.

- Proper exit codes for interface printing

- Add safe_strncpy and use it everywhere: this fixes quite a lot of
strncpy bugs (strncpy doesn't add a '\0' when the source string is too
long!)

apparently it's not actually a 1.5Mbps network.

Make `--inet6' do roughly the right thing.
`Activate NETROM sockets' -> `Active NETROM sockets',
ditto for AX.25

headers.

Some other cleanups:
- lib/net-string.c removed because it was not used and had a copyright notice
that conflicted with the GPL.
- Minor cleanups.
- Fix an potential buffer overflow in ax25.
- Switch to CVS $Id$ for versioning consistently

- Use an AF_INET socket for SIOCGIFCONF

in net-tools dealing with interfaces, including other address families.

issuing ioctls to a random socket and just
hoping, we do our best to pick the right one
for the address family in use.  This should
fix a bug reported for 1.47 where a command like
"ifconfig eth0 broadcast 1.0.0.255" picked on the
AF_APPLETALK socket and so didn't work.

Quite an invasive fix but hopefully the right one.
Andi, can you take a look since this is stuff you've
been working on recently.

Based on patch from "Stanislav V. Voronyi"
<stas@cnti.uanet.kharkov.ua>

modprobe problem. Only barely tested, more testers (using the more exotic
network protocols) are needed.

Preliminary support for IFF_DYNAMIC.
