How *NIXdudes!

I running SCO UNIX 5.0.5. Running netstat -nr gives me

Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface
default 192.168.2.1 UG 0 27 65.185.89.232 192.168.2.1 UGH 0 3
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 5 17516
192.168.2 192.168.2.3 UC 1 0
192.168.2.3 127.0.0.1 UGHS 1 18
224 192.168.2.3 UCS 0 0

How can I change 65.185.89.232 to 65.185.89.233? or should I ask How can I edit my routing table?

Thanks;

You can add and remove entries from the routing table using the commands "route add" and "route delete".
In the example you have mentioned you would need to first remove the current entry:

route delete 65.185.89.232

then add the new entry

route add 65.185.89.233 192.168.2.1

This will only add the entry for the current session. Once you reboot the server you will lose the new entry to the table. To get round this you can add a /etc/rc2.d script and the contents of the script would just be the route add command shown above.

Since you have 5.0.5 you could also just put

host 65.185.89.233 192.168.2.1

in /usr/internet/etc/sco_ip/routes

drtrinidad,

Is this also true for 5.0.6? I maintain a 5.0.6 version else where and wonder ...


Thanks;

It seems to be true for 5.0.6 - I took a look at a 5.0.6 system and /etc/rc2.d/S90iproute (which does the work of adding the routes) has the same checksum as in 5.0.5. I think the sco_ip directory in /usr/internet/etc is created when use the 'internet faststart' web-based configuration, but if you don't use that you can create it by hand.
