Good Afternoon!

I'm moving our mail server from 4.4 to 4.10. When I try to add addresses 
to the NIC, ifconfig doesn't seem to want to cooperate...


s2<ROOT>[/var/CommuniGate]
 > ifconfig fxp0 add 63.82.200.42/24
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists


This is the same command that I used on the 4.4 machine. Has something 
changed? If this is a security thing, can it be disabled via sysctl?

Thanks!
Scott
