Comment 1 betka 1999-02-24 15:33:59 UTC 
A very bad hack of a fix is to comment out all the linuxconf stuff in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases (lines 10-38,47) to go
back to the old way of bringing up aliases. This requires twidling
all the ifup scripts to pass along the ONBOOT variable to handle
aliases that you don't want brought up on boot.

Fixed in linuxconf-1.14
