The reason the last "route add -net ${NETWORK}" is not working is that it is expecting a network address (ending in .0) and it is getting a host address instead. In the above example, change the "NETWORK=129.186.31.38" line to "NETWORK=129.186.31.0" and things should work. If this is indeed getting created this way by a Debian script, it needs to be changed immediately. I don't think 0.93 had this bug, so perhaps people upgrading from that release won't experience this problem. Gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
