Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of the following problem/bug I encounter with Redhat 5.2, and whether this is a known problem with a fix somewhere. I run RH4.0, 5.0 and 5.2, each box is configured for its specific purpose and serves the network well. I need to alias several networks and hosts within those networks, when using RH's netcfg which is GUI, I can create an alias host, but when needing to create the network route, netcfg cannot do it. To achieve this within the shell prompt you just have to do: ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.23.1 route add -host 192.168.23.1 route add -net 192.168.23.0 (verifying 255.255.255.0 netmasks are set on each), successful routing of the network occurs. Within the netcfg program you have to follow the following steps: * Go to "Interfaces" and create an alias host existing on the eth0 interface of 192.168.23.1 on eth0:0 * Go to the "Routing" section and create a route for the 192.168.23.0 network with netmask 255.255.255.0 * Go back to "Interfaces" and activate eth0:0 device * at this stage both the eth0:0 host route and the eth0:0 network route SHOULD BE added to the route table, but At the last step the eth0:0 host (192.168.23.1) is entered into the route table but the 192.168.23.0 network route is not. This bug has existed in all Redhat releases I've seen to date. Does anyone know otherwise? Thanks. Michael Mansour National LAN Team Franklins Ltd.
