Lightbulb Alias in SCO network configuration
We have many remote servers that are running different versions of the SCO operating system. The current server inventory includes the usage of SCO 3.2v5.0.5 3.2v5.0.6 and 3.2v5.0.7.

Recently, there have been some ongoing problems when a re-boot is done with some of these remote servers. Afetr the re-boot, we have run an "ifconfig -a" command, and we find an alias exists for the network address of the remote server. This problem is resolved when we mannually run an "ifconfig" command to remove the alias. We also run an "arp" command to clear it's settings.

What is needed to fix this problem for the longer term is not known because we do not know how an alias is being generated? When existing servers are up and running, there are no existing aliases in the network configurations. We did several scans of our existing servers, but have not yet been able to determine the root cause of this problem.

Would this problem show up in some configuration file such as /etc/rc2.d/S85tcp? Does the scoadmin command (for the network config mgr) need to be run to verify and to re-store the tcp settings? Should the SCO kernal be re-linked? Are there any other items that could be checked for a problem cause?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

vconsole.conf

VCONSOLE.CONF(5)						   vconsole.conf						  VCONSOLE.CONF(5)

NAME

       vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vconsole.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.

       The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
       possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
       allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
       vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
       as fallback.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
	   Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard.  KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
	   a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
	   Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map.  FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. German keyboard and console

       /etc/vconsole.conf:

	   KEYMAP=de-latin1
	   FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
