aka on FreeBSD

Hi All,
Sorry to pester again but I've a small problem with our polygraph setup.
I'm using the perl scripts and 'aka' tool to do IP aliasing.

Our setup is a class B net with addresses in 10.6.n.m and a netmask of
255.255.0.0 - this is set explicitly in the ifconfig lines of rc.conf on
all hosts.

On one host, aliases are being created with the correct netmask of
255.255.0.0 however the other machine is using 255.255.255.0 (class-c)
which is wrong!

Where does aka pick up netmask settings from? The primary IP of the
interface concerned has correct netmask, but the aliases don't. I'm
pretty sure I've just confused things somewhere along the line (it's
taken some tinkering to get to this stage and I've probably broken
something!)

Any help gratefully received
Cheers

Bryn
