I apologize in advance. I have been playing around with 4.25 & 6.2 a
bit but I am still quite a novice. I know how to configure the
default gateway and netmask in 6.2’s (and windoze) gui but I don’t
know how to do it in 4.25 per se.
From a shell I can run
route add default
ifconfig en1 netmask
to add a default route and overide the default netmask.
However every time I reboot that info is wiped.
I believe these commands should be added to some sort of startup
script file somewhere but I don’t know which. I was guessing
/etc/config/sysinit.1
/etc/config/inetd.1
/etc/config/bin/tcpip.1
or
.profile
I need to do this for all users so I think I can rule out the
profile file, but I could use some guidance here.
The best way to do this is to put all your configuration information into
/etc/netstart. Then in your sysinit.1 file, you can add the line
/etc/netstart after the network driver(s) has been started.

I found one interseting caveat about sysinit.1 that I noticed - you
need to have a carriage return at the end of last line or else it
generates an error when running. Although you probly already know
that.

Hum, the latest install CD creates /etc/config/bin/tcpip.X and calls
it from within the sysinit.

This is true of any shell script

Actually, it’s a newline/linefeed. Literal chars often cause
totally flakey behavior on Unix machines.
