>Synopsis: Bogus static route in default /etc/sysconfig
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical

>Environment:
-current as of this morning
>Description:
/usr/src/etc/sysconfig contains the following text:
|static_routes="multicast loopback"
|route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
|route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
The `loopback' bits are bogus. Furthermore, a number of people have
name-resolution problems related to the use of ${hostname} in
route_multicast; this should use a numeric IP address instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
more /usr/src/etc/sysconfig
>Fix:
Delete the offending bits, which serve no purpose.
