Re: Firewall duplicate route table entries



Bernd,

Thank you for your reply.

I have included more information:
(We're talking about kernel 2.2.20 as included with Debian woody)

> the output of ifconfig and route would be helpful.

Output of  ifconfig :

Forgive my ignorance, but I am not familiar with a "run" command - woody does not recognise
"run" either... and, yes, when I removed the "route add -net..." entries recommended by Tony Mancill's
Linux Routers (1st Ed.) I now have only one entry per interface (...!)  - online education appreciated -

You mention "automatic route table entries"...where are these generated from, ie. which script/process?
What I am wondering now is where the automatic route table entries are generated from in the first place.
Bernd proposes to treat the symptom by deleting extra entries, am I being naive to try and treat the
cause rather than treating the symptom? If this is kernel reality then I must accept...

If the kernel automatically adds route table entries, does it do so with interfaces  loaded as modules also?

Anyhow I have included ifconfig & route info - but I don't think that my ip/netmask combination is faulty.


Thanks for your concern.
Regards,
Shango
