Apparently, my other emails haven't been visible enough to stand out... Please have a look at what I've written before at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404956 > Degging back in my memory... > > Behaviour before the change: "ip rule flush" would leave the default > 100: from all lookup main > rule in place and working.

The default rules looks like this: $ ip rule sh 0: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default Only the "0" rule is special and can't be deleted. This is clearly documented in "man ip": Rule 0 is special. It cannot be deleted or overridden. All ip commands you can flush means "delete everything", not "restore defaults". I've tried alot of old iproute versions and couldn't find any other behaviour then "delete everything" when I did "ip rule flush". If there has ever been any other behaviour, I thus have to draw the conclusion that something changed /inside the kernel/. As the behaviour is documented, I'd also say that if it has ever worked differently it was a bug that has since been fixed. Because of this I'm leaving the bug closed (and please CC it on followups). As usual, if you disagree - feel free to reopen and provide additional information. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
