I guess that's all true, but the exercise was just to find out what

I think it's weird, but it didn't hurt so far. In fact, a few changes
late in the dev cycle meant that for the first time it works reliably,

What's /etc/iftab? I don't have it, and would be surprised if I ever had
such a directory (?) in any distro.
