Interesting idea sending this to freebsd.org ;-)

UGHDM means that this route is used, its via a gateway, its to a host, its
added dynamically
and has been modified.

Your network has better ideas about routing than you put in your routing
table, so the routes
are modified either by a routing deamon or by icmp redirects.

You can delete them by route delete <destination>.
They will reappear when the cause persists.

Are you running a routing deamon? (lssrc -a, ps -ef)
Could this be by accident?

There could be some misconfigured host; try to run "route monitor" and have
a look whos changing
the routes.

You can disable receiving and sending of icmp redirects *if you know what
you do* via the "no" command.

Sir, I hope you can help, but I have a number of routes defined when I do
a netstat -r command
(aix 4.3) there are a number that have the flag UGHDM which I understand
means that they are
routes that are only temporary i.e dynamic, firstly is this correct and
secondly how can I remove these
entries without having to reboot? I can use the route -f command, but I
think that this will clear ALL
routes that I have defined.This I do not want to do.....
