No! ``netstat -rn'' is now useless on a console terminal. The whole -DINET6 stuff needs to be moved to /etc/make.conf. At the moment there is now way for me to turn the IPV6 userland stuff off easily. Alternately, the output formatting could be changed, but ``ifconfig -rn'' needs to be neatly readble on an 80 column display. We cater to the server market, where a large number of machines run headless on console servers. > The same is done with IPX.

Including IPX support didn't fsck up the output of ``netstat -rn''. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
