Hi all,

I just upgraded a 2.2.8-stable system to 3.0-stable, and now I can't seem to
get anything to read /etc/networks.  Specifically, netstat -r no longer uses
my local network names in its lists.  The bigger thing for me is that I have my
gateway running a timed server as master on my local net, and after the upgrade
it won't communicate with my clients anymore.  (I use a network name defined in
/etc/networks to control access via the -F option).  Also, the networks(5) man
page doesn't give a very detailed spec for the file format.  I was using this
in 2.2.8-stable, which worked fine:

mybignet        10
mybignetmask    255.255.255

mysubnet        10.0.0

then, the route with a destination of 10/24 would display mysubnet instead of
10/24 in netstat -r.  After upgrading to 3.0 it displays 10/24, and I can't seem
to get it back.

I also invoke timed as "timed -M -F mysubnet", and I do like the names, so if
there is any way to get this back I'd like to do so.
