Thanks, Jim. This is actually a big help. Paul Jakma and I wanted more
information on /etc/gateways. To me the man page was unclear on the
file's usage. You said:
The /etc/gateways file is used to configure in.routed, the combined
ICMP Router Discovery and RIP-2 daemon.
You don't need /etc/gateways for normal operation. You need it if the
defaults for in.routed (documented in the man page) aren't what you
want.
This is a good enough answer for my procedure. I assume that most people
want the default operation for in.routed and have no need to further
configure /etc/gateways.
