place for routing commands

Hello list.

I would like to have a route added each time I reboot, and
it doesn't feel a very good (general) solution to put it into network
init.d-scripts. /etc/network direcrory contains some directories like ip-up.d
etc. So, what's the Debian way of doing this these days?

Another interesting thing: when I type pipe character and a space after that,
the space is not (0x20) but something else (is displayed as a space). This
happens only after pipe-char at least in xemacs and console. First I didn't know
that, and spent a lot of time with a program that gcc refused to compile
because of a syntax error :)

System is Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.12 (+ fixes to use 2.4 series krn)

regards, Juha.

smbmount

[Juha Pesonen]

Hi,

When smbmount fails to mount a NT-share, the mount entry exists in
/etc/mount after failed mount anyway. This prevents mounting anything
else to that mount point. Is this a so-called bug or what? I'm using the
latest stable version (at least apt-get told me so...) on debian 2.1. df
doesn't know anything about the mount but I just umount it, and
everything is just fine.

Another thing: is it possible to give passwd on command line to
smbmount?
