MTU

[Gregory J.Neumann]

Here's a real shot form the hip from a very wannabe sysadmin:

"man ifconfig" and search got me "mtu N" no "=" sign.  Would something 
like:
ifconfig eth0 ... mtu 1492 ..." work as a manual override for the default 
settings till you can get it worked into a script?
The Slackware /etc/rc.d/rc.1net1 script has a script calling ifconfig, 
but none of the parameters has the "=" in them.  Try leaving that "=" 
out??

Hope it helps!
