Kukulies" Subject: route command w/o metrics (why?) To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Message-id: <199606030821.KAA04825@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Just out of curiousity: Why does the BSD route command not require a metrics parameter? It happened to me that I forgot to give the metric on a HP-UX machine resulting in the fact that the gateway did not get the G flag (netstat -r) and it took me a hell of a time to find it out. --Chris Christoph P.
