I recently had routed report this to me, and the route.h file tells me this means the kernel suspects partitioning. Is this network partitioning, or something else? The precise message was: Nov 4 19:24:55 plethora routed[59]: punt RTM_LOSING without gateway Nov 4 19:24:56 plethora routed[59]: punt RTM_LOSING without gateway A second question: I thought to myself, why do I even need to run routed? I have a default route set to the gateway, that should be it, right? So, I set router=NO in sysconfig rebooted and so far everything appears to be fine. So, is there a good reason I should be running routed (in passive mode) anyway? A third question: The UNIX System Administration Handbook suggests to use gated instead, saying that routed is too unreliable. But, FreeBSD does not include gated by default. What's up with that? I'm running: FreeBSD 2.2-961006-SNAP #0: Sat Oct 19 18:43:38 CDT 1996 -- James
