Alright, I've been wondering about this for a long time, and now I just have to ask. I confess that I have my router on my network distributing routing information via RIP v1. The 'old' routed distributed with the 4.4BSD sources (which I think was shipped with FreeBSD prior to FreeBSD 2.2.0) correctly picked up the routing information and modified the system routing table accordingly. Everything matched up correctly with the other systems on my network running routed or gated. The first thing I noticed after bootstrapping later versions of FreeBSD with the 'new' routed (based on the code from SGI) was that routed was no longer updating the routing table correctly. I run routed -q, and nothing happens. Tonight I compiled gated 3.5.5 and that works correctly: it picks up all the right routes and adds them to the system routing table. At first I thought the 'new' routed was perhaps a little rough around the edges and was just in need of a few tweaks, but after several months waiting to see if it would improve, it still just sits there like a bump on a log. rtquery -1 <hostname> does work, but rtquery doesn't seem to share its code with routed. I don't want any discussions on the merits of RIP v1 (or lack thereof). Somebody just tell me: is routed goofy or am I just missing something obvious. Is there anyone else using routed with RIP v1 besides me? -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
