Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 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 . 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. -Orm 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.....
