[Techtalk] interfaces issue

Someone who uses my system pointed this out to me today.  Could someone
tell me what the heck this means and how to fix it?  A google on it was
useless.

Here is the current /etc/network/interfaces file:

----------------------------------

# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
auth eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 207.127.75.180
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 207.127.75.0
        broadcast 207.127.75.255
        gateway 207.127.75.1

iface eth0:1 inet static
        address 207.127.75.181
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 207.127.75.255

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 10.75.1.244
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.75.1.0
        broadcast 10.75.1.255

iface eth1:1 inet static
        address 10.75.1.245
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.75.1.0
        broadcast 10.75.1.255

----------------------------------

The issue is that when I do "#/etc/init.d/networking restart", I get the
following error:

www:/etc/init.d# ./networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces: /etc/network/interfaces: option
without interface
/etc/network/interfaces: option without interface
done.

An "#ifconfig" only reveals a eth0, eth0:1 and eth1 (not eth1:1).
Ideas?
