I get the error message "Writing to routing socket: File exists" every time my system boots. This has been happening ever since I installed 2.1R, so it isn't anything I've broken by hacking since then. The error is in response to the command "route add smoke.microwiz.com localhost" generated in /etc/netstart. smoke.microwiz.com is the official name of my machine (it is what hostname is set to in /etc/sysconfig, and is what a reverse DNS lookup on my IP address would produce). Everything appears to work fine despite this error, but I'd like to know what the problem is and try to correct it. -- John McNamee <jpm@microwiz.com> MicroWizards Software Development Services Voice: 702-825-3535 / FAX: 702-825-3443
