That works for 7, dont know about 2.6 (it has been ages > since I have dealt with 2.6) Oops, looks like I forgot to mention this. in.routed and in.rdisc are totally insufficient for our needs. in.routed only talks RIPv1, and we need at least RIPv2 since we aren't living in the 80's and have VLSM. in.rdisc is just router discovery. -- Crist J.
