HELP: netstat -rn (flag UGHD)

[leekb]

Hi,

I have seeing UGHD flag appearing from time to time on netstat -rn output. How do these entries come about? I am suspecting this entry is wrecking some routing path in our network.

See attached output.

thanks in advance

dbase77,

How can I tell whether the routing daemon is running?

 

[Annihilannic]

ps -ef | grep routed should tell you.

touch /etc/notrouter should prevent it from starting up. Annihilannic.

 

[leekb]

"ps -ef|grep routed" shows that in.routed is not running. I touched /etc/notrouter following your recommendation - just to prevent it from starting up.
