Confirmed...I've got an older a.out system which had the device specification in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 on the "route" command. At 1.3.99 my nfs mounts started failing because the route wasn't being added. Strange thing is the the route DIDN'T show up after ifconfig (netstat -r at that point showed no route), but it WAS there after booting was finished (had to manually mount NFS at that point). - /----------------------------------------------------------\ | Mike Black mblack@csihq.com 407-676-5118, x203 | | Computer Science Innovations, Inc. 407-676-2355 FAX | | Melbourne FL 32904-2314 http://www.csihq.com | \----------------------------------------------------------/
