- Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this problems,
- and apologies if it's a FAQ. I also don't read this group often
- and would beg you to send responses directly to me. I'll post a
- summary if there is enough response.
-
- Here's my question - We just received a truckload of SGI's, and
- some of the System Administrators have a question about setting up
- the route tables. On other vendor system's at our site we use a
- file named /etc/gateways, which gets read at boot. There is no man
- page for the gateways file, but it is mentioned in the routed (1m)
- man page.
-
- This file was set up as specified, but the results of the netstat
- command showed that the specified route was NOT added. Are we missing
- something ... or does the route daemon not look at the gateways
- file ?
-
- Here's the file, nothing too tricky, just telling routed about the
- router which goes to the backbone :
-
- mozart 12% more /etc/gateways
- net 130.97.0.0 gateway mezuzart metric 1 passive
- mozart 13%
-
-
- Thanks for any help ...
