where did you see this mystical "suroute" you're asking us to explain? :-) Sounds like a corruption of 'su root' to me The following is part of a message sent to me re a routing issue that occurred on one of the local servers when I was interstate on the past weekend. The person who sent it is currently unavailable, but under the circumstances I can't imagine that he meant "su root" "The root cause: suidperl lost its suid bit in the install, so suroute failed to add network routes. But some of them still seemed to happen, which I cannot explain" The situation is a remote FreeBSD 4.3 system with ethernet links to other LAN machines / internet / etc, and several dialup LAN connections. After the upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 something broke & consequently machines on the dialup LANs lost internet connectivity (gateways were unaffected). I enabled NAT on as many systems as possible as a short term workaround but I'd like to fix the problem properly ASAP. I suspect the "suroute" issue (whatever it is) may only affect pppd & not user-ppp, however its difficult to know when the term doesn't appear in any documentation I've read. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kris Kennaway" <kris@obsecurity.org> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au> Cc: "Kris Kennaway" <kris@obsecurity.org>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 4:50 PM Subject: Re: suroute ??
