All systems are FreeBSD 2.2 are you running routed on the other boxes?? if you do.. then they should automaticly propagate the routes to the other subnets...

I have patches for kernel ppp that allows you to specify it to add a network route when connecting... and you can add a entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup for user ppp to add a network route... > Is this the correct sort of thing to do with routed or is it best handled > some other way perhaps with static routes? well... I really haven't played around with /etc/gateways... so I really don't know... as I stated above, I have gotten it working with routed announcing routes... but if your going to connect to inet.. or any of the networks are secure... you REALLY should run gated as you can have it automaticly add the routes and not accept routing information from the ppp links... hope this helps... ttyl... -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
