hi,
below is my current rc.inet1 script (slackware rc.d setup). neither
routing.txt nor policy-routing.txt seem to provide workable solutions
to why my setup does not work with newer kernels.
with 2.0.28, 'route -v' gives this (sorry for the long lines):
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 499 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 9 lo
default 155.100.229.127 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 18566 eth0
however, with 2.1.24 i do not get the loopback (lo) set up.
what is the correct syntax?
thanks,

#! /bin/sh

# rc.inet1 This shell script boots up the base INET system.
HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
# Attach the loopback device.
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0
# IF YOU HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION, use these lines below to configure the

# rest of the lines in this file.
# Edit for your setup.
IPADDR="155.100.229.31" # REPLACE with YOUR IP address!
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # REPLACE with YOUR netmask!
NETWORK="155.100.229.0" # REPLACE with YOUR network address!
BROADCAST="155.100.229.255" # REPLACE with YOUR broadcast address, if you
# have one. If not, leave blank and edit below.
GATEWAY="155.100.229.127" # REPLACE with YOUR gateway address!
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK}
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
# start ndc here for nameserver
/usr/sbin/ndc start
# End of rc.inet1
