Hi Folks,

Many thanks to the rapid response team:

And to those whose responses may follow;)

Original message:
> I recently moved my Solaris box to another subnet in our network with
> multiple routers. I have statically added all the network routes to the
> routing tables and placed the commands in a script in /etc/rc2.d
> directory. I would like, however, to run Gated to have the routing tables
> dynamically updated. I searched for it in the system, but I only found
> in.routed. Is there a gated, or in.gated, for Solaris 2.5, and if so
> where can I obtain it?

What I did:
I commented out the the router in /etc/defaultrouter and restarted the
machine. In two minutes it came up and had the full routing table
assembled;) I also down loaded
ftp://ftp.gated.merit.edu/net-research/gated/gated-3-5-11.tar.gz
and will compile/install it asap.

Suggestions:
Most suggested www.gated.com; one suggested to upgrade to solaris 2.5.1 or
2.6 to have gated preinstalled; one suggested rdisc; and two suggested
routed, which is actually in.routed;)

Thanks list,

Joe
