I should have been clearer. The 'ifconfig' command displays (by default
and I couldn't find a way to change that) nine characters. I use
ifconfig quite a bit so I tend think in those size terms.
Looking at your math above I got lost on the
'(current max 16) aliases ...'
I thought the limit was much higher; as in around 255 aliases per
interface.
I probably just misunderstand.
