Static routes not getting configured properly....

Hi The man page says that static routes per interface should be in the format: IP/mask:gateway and space separated for multiple entries. So I have added: {ip's are fictional} 20.17.1.20/255.255.255.255:20.17.96.253 20.17.17.1/255.255.255.255:20.17.96.253 10.17.4.20/255.255.255.255:20.17.96.253 but I get: 20.17.1.20/255.255.255.255 via 20.17.96.253 20.17.17.1/255.255.255.255 via 20.17.96.253 20.17.4.20/255.255.255.255 via 20.17.96.253 Setting up of the routes fail when networking starts up with the error: an inet prefix is expected rather than 20.17.1.20/255.255.255.255 via 20.17.96.253 So firstly, have I read the man page wrong for cobbler? What should the values be? and secondly the /usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.45.30/sysconfig.txt documetation recommends ADDRESSn=<network> NETMASKn=<network/prefix mask> GATEWAYn=<next-hop router/gateway IP address> The "n" can be any integer number, but is expected to be monotonically increasing and counting starts from 0. For example: ADDRESS0=192.168.2.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1 Admittedly I am using an older version of cobbler: cobbler-2.0.11-2.el5 cobbler-web-2.0.11-2.el5 and have not had the opportunity to test in a new environment yet with a new cobbler instance. So is this fixed in newer versions or is the problem I am seeing specific only to Red Hat/CentOS? Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis
