Hello... I'm getting the following error when I try to run and of the ip rule commands: root@xxxxxxx:/etc/iproute2# ip rule ls RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Dump terminated Does that mean that there is a problem with RTNETLINK or iproute2? I've recompiled my kernel to be sure that NETLINK and RTNETLING are both there. I'm running Slackware 8.0 with kernel version 2.2.19 I believe and I just downloaded iproute2-current.tar.gz yesterday. any suggestions or pointers to any documentation will be helpfull or if you can point me to a previous posting to this list in archives. Thanks alot TJ Cuddy <stable> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
