Okay, I'm trying here. I tried to recreate it thus:
b1# ifconfig
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE>
ether 00:21:9b:fd:30:8b
inet xx.yy.41.196 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast xx.yy.41.255
inet xx.yy.41.197 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.197
inet xx.yy.41.198 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.198
inet xx.yy.41.199 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.199
inet xx.yy.41.200 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.200
inet xx.yy.41.201 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.201
inet xx.yy.41.202 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.202
inet xx.yy.41.203 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.203
inet xx2.yy2.76.62 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast xx2.yy2.76.63
inet xx.yy.41.207 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.207
inet xx.yy.41.206 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast xx.yy.41.206
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX
<full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause>)
status: active
<etc...>
Then:
b1# ssh -b xx.yy.41.197 b2 -l myname
Open new session and...
b1# ssh -b xx.yy.41.198 b2 -l myname
Open new session and...
b1# ssh -b xx.yy.41.199 b2 -l myname
An so on....
Then on b2:
b2# w -n
9:43AM up 803 days, 22:47, 5 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.06, 0.02
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT
myname p0 ns0.domainname.org.uk 9:28AM 14 -csh (csh)
myname p1 ns1.domainname.net 9:29AM 14 -csh (csh)
myname p5 xx.yy.41.199 9:29AM 13 -csh (csh)
myname p6 xx.yy.41.201 9:30AM - w -n
myname p7 xx.yy.41.207 9:30AM 11 -csh (csh)
The only problem I can see there is that the -n option isn't working on
w! I'll look in to that. The reverse lookups match the IP addressed
dialled in on. b2 has the same sshd bound to all IP addresses,
incidentally. b1 has more than one interface, but all the IP addresses I
used are on the same one.
My guess, if you're not getting this, is that you're configuring the
aliases in a different way, so the output of ipconfig might help, even
if it just convinces me the netmask is correct and stops me worrying.
I've obviously obfuscated the first part of mine.
Or have I misunderstood the problem?
Regards, Frank.
