Bug 95004 – Additional documentation example in /etc/conf.d/net for the routes_eth? option.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Warren Howard 2005-06-04 04:45:14 UTC]

I recently had a need to use /etc/conf.d/net to include a route add line,
specifically routes_eth1="-net 59.144.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 eth1".  Anyway
the point is that I needed to search the file /etc/init.d/net.eth0 to learn
about the availablility of the routes_eth? (routes_IFACE) option.  This was
after searching for any specific documentation on the /etc/conf.d/net file.  An
additional commented out example in /etc/conf.d/net showing that the
routes_IFACE option is available would of helped me and will be helpful others
in my opinion.

Regards,


Warren.

no mention of what version of baselayout you're using (since you neglected to provide
`emerge info`)

if you're using a newer baselayout, there is /etc/conf.d/net.example
