Package: net-tools Version: 1.60-10 Severity: normal With a 2.4 kernel, the route command works as described by its man page. With a 2.6 kernel, any form of "route add -net" or "route add -host" other than "route add -net default" produces an error message
"SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument" In at least some cases, entering one or more static routes and getting the error message, followed by entering a default route, will cause all the routes to come up and start working. This was tested on Debian Sarge and Libranet 3.0. Platforms are Pentium 1, Pentium 2, and dual Athlon MP. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-ln.smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages net-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
