Yes, definately -- but only your netmask. :-) (gdb) p/x (204<<24)+(118<<16)+(244<<8)+252 $1 = 0xcc76f4fc So very simple: the route command took the third argument as a (non-contiguous) netmask. netstat -r tries to print /masklen if the netmask is contiguous, but simply falls back to &mask if it is not. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
