Think about what you have typed here, it sounds to me like you are starting
routed beofre all interfaces are attached right,? It could possably be that
routed dies or just goes to sleep and does nothing if interfaces are
attached after its started.
I took a quick look at the man page but i cant find any referance to that
so its a pure guess.
On another note, you say in another mail you are using .rhosts, you also
say the network is a small one, now why would you want to use routed
anyway, the .rhosts file + routed make your network very "open" so you
should be very carefull here, your network will be a secutiry risk espesaly
if you use the -r option with routed.
Anyway routed should NOT be started from rc.inet1 it should be called from
from rc.inet2.
