Ok, something seems to be amiss:
I added info in /etc/network/intefaces auto eth0 iface etho inet static address 141.209.169.84 ...
/etc/init.d/networking restart gives: Setting up IP sppofing prortection: rp_filter Enabling TCP/IP Syn cookies: done Reconfiguring network interfaces: SIOCDELRT: No such process ifup: interface lo already configured RTNETLINK: answers: cannot assign reauested address
- no other machine is using this adddress - ifconfig reports address 169.254.123.93??
141.209.169.84 can be pinged
Could it be a problem with the script? I am able to reset interface to use dhcp using pump -i eth0

Is the entry really valid?
Something like:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 141.209.169.84 gateway 141.209.169.1 broadcast 141.209.169.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

What kind of network card + driver are you using? Does 'rmmod ipv6' help? What's the output of 'ip addr show'? Does 'ifup -a' change anything?

yes
Something like:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 141.209.169.84 gateway 141.209.169.1 broadcast 141.209.169.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
with one more line: network 141.209.169.0
What kind of network card + driver are you using?
Intel Pro/100, driver is e100 (via lsmod)
Does 'rmmod ipv6' help?
ipv6 is not loaded
What's the output of 'ip addr show'?
for eth0 last two line: inet 169.254.123.93/16 scope link eth0 inet 141.209.169/84/24 brd 141.209.169.255 scope global eth0 (the last line is corrct but is not shown by ifconfig eth0)
Does 'ifup -a' change anything?
ifup: interface lo already configured ifup: interface eth0 already configured
I also see problems with CUPS system (for adding a local printer) # /etc/init.d/cupsys start starts the daemon
I can connect to this server using URL: http://localhost:631/ as soon as add a printer is chosen, the server dies!
This is a dual PIII box.

Are you really sure? Because:

.. that's what I suspected. ifconfig isn't that trustable as ip. ;( And the behaviour seems to result from a bug either in the TCP/IP-stack with the sit0-device (IPv6-in-IPv4) or at ifconfig itself. So make sure ipv6 isn't present [sudo rmmod -f ipv6].
(We will take a closer look at the problem anyway and maybe just deactivate the ipv6-module per default.)

Hm, interesting. Does "only" CUPS die or the whole grml-system? Have you set a password for user root before activating CUPS? Did you ever see the user+password dialog when selecting "Add printer"?
Thanks for reporting && regards, -mika-

I did set password for root, and user+password dialog is presented. BTW there is a kernel trace displayed when cupsd dies BUT the rest of the system is still functional!!

Oh, very strange indeed.
So "ip link show sit0" does not output anything (useful), nor?
Would be nice if you could mail me the file info.tar.bz2 (via personal mail) which is generated when running grml-hwinfo [please run it with root-permissions].

Oh, unionfs crashed. 8-) [unionfs is the kernelmodule which makes it possible to get full write support on the readonly medium CD]
Getting unionfs to work "something like stable" was quite hard work and I'm still working on the unionfs-integration. (I'm in contact with the unionfs-developers due to some problems I encountered in the past and which are still present in current cvs-snapshots.)

Finally I could reproduce the problem on one of my machines. AFAICS zeroconf is envolved in the problem. Maybe someone can reproduce it? All you have to do when getting different output running "ifconfig -a" vs. "ip addr show" is:
# killall zeroconf # and maybe also remove and reload NIC modules # rm /etc/network/if-up.d/zeroconf-up # or even purge zeroconf at all.. # ... via 'apt-get --purge remove zeroconf' # ifup -v $device # or /etc/init.d/networking restart
