Deleting routed is one way to do it, but you simply need to make sure it
isn't started. Unless I'm mistaken, stock RH5 does not start routed by
default. Routed only supports RIP; for OSPF gated is the only choice I'm
aware of short of buying a router.
The IP protocol type for OSPF is 89, which is neither the more common TCP
or UDP subtypes. You can suppress the message you're getting by putting
a line in /etc/protocols like the following:
ospf 89 OSPF # Open Shortest Path First routing protocol
``: source gateway not on same net'' comes from the redirect() routine,
which is supposed to change ``the routing tables in response to a redirect
message or indication from the kernel''. One thing that could provoke
such a message would be an ICMP redirect packet telling you to route
packets through a router not directly accessible from your box. I'm not
sure what else it might be; I'd want to see the full log message and a
(now-misnamed) tcpdump of the session.
Good luck,
