I have that information in /etc/network/interfaces. That's because I use debian scripts and they use ifup/ifdown. The above mentioned is RedHat's way IIRC. Other distros may have other places. Anyway, kernel never read files. The routing tables have to be setup using `route' command or some command that ends up calling route (like `ifup'). This command must be somewhere in your RC scripts. And in that script you can find/set where the information should be stored. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
