ifconfig not really shutdown interface

[NetSnake <peng.yang@prosten.com.cn>]

Does anybody meet this?


Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-15

ifconfig not really shutdown the interface.
For example, I config a interface eth1 like this:

ifconfig eth1 61.50.120.55 up

The interface is working fine, we can ping and ssh to it via this IP.
But when I shutdown this interface eth1:

ifconfig eth1 down

When I use ifconfig, the interface eth1 is disappere, but we still can
pint and ssh to this server use this IP.
And when we use
ifconfig eth1
We still see this interface's IP.

I thought this should not be a kernel bug, because I tested it both
kernel 2.4.26-bf2.4 and 2.6.6, 2.6.8, 2.6.10.
