Hello,
thanx to : rrobino@wavedivision.com and jblanche@france.sun.com
Their answers were kind of short, here is my understanding, and feel free to correct me I will repost a correction if need be.
I was trying to add static routes with to a subnetted network via in.routed (Solaris 7) and /etc/networks+/etc/netmasks.
Well, in.routed didnt consider my /etc/netmasks and defaulted to classical class C netmasks.
The answer seems to be :
If the subnetted network is not directly conected one, on the local interfaces, then in.routed doent see it.
Two solutions :
manuall route add with correct netmask included with -netmask option.
use a RIP2 awere routing deamon.
Thanx all.
Mohamed.
