Robin, : for better or worse I have a machine running Redhat 7.1 .. which has : iproute-2.2.4-7 installed ... but to me surprise does not appear to : have a /etc/iproute2 directory .. (so adding a table to rt_tables is a : bit tricky) ... a quick search doesnt locate that directory anywhere : .. or the rt_tables file. : : so .. what to do about that? can I just grab the files of another : install or what? Yes--it's no problem to "borrow" a directory from another machine. If you had made any customizations to the /etc/iproute2/* files, then these are lost, but if you did such a thing, you probably know what you need to change. I just checked a RedHat 7.1 box, and found no directory /etc/iproute2 $ ls -l /etc/iproute2/ total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 299 Aug 8 2001 rt_dsfield -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 296 Aug 8 2001 rt_protos -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114 Aug 8 2001 rt_realms -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 98 Aug 8 2001 rt_scopes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92 Sep 10 2002 rt_tables Here's roughly what it should look like though.
