Synopsis: Able to set an invalid netmask State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: brian State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 3 05:38:27 UTC 2009 State-Changed-Why: Hi, Can you be more specific as to why you think there's a problem? FreeBSD supports non-contiguous netmasks - they don't have to be composed of a series of binary ones followed by all binary zeros. When a netmask is non-contiguous, the system shows it as a hex value rather than as a number of one-bits. Unless you've got any specific problems with this, I'd like to close this as a feature not a bug. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=136257
