[Techtalk] interfaces issue

[jhamilto at n2h2.com]

Is that actually an error, or is it just telling you what options it is
using when setting up your network interfaces (or in this case, none)? 

Run the commands ifdown -v <interface> and ifup -v <interface> for each
interface to see which ones are causing this output. ifup -a is run in
/etc/init.d/networking to start your network devices.

You have to do $ ifconfig -a to show if network cards are configured for
mulitiple IP addresses (as yours are).

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?
