eth interface with no IP
Hey guys,
I have sarge w/ 2 NICs, which I'd like to set up as an IDS. I want to
start eth1 without an IP address and with no ARP running, so as to use
it just for sniffing.
Nothing I tried putting in /etc/network/interfaces works. The net
startup script always complains about missing configuration and of
course eth1 isn't started. As a temporary solution I added a 'ifconfig
eth1 up' line in /etc/init.d/networking but I really don't like this
approach. I don't think that it's even the right thing to do cause of
upgrade issues.
Is there a more elegant solution? What is the debian way?
thanx in advance,
