Do you have a particular autocalculation in mind? I can remember that _netconfig_ has this feature when you type the IP and then press <tab> key. And IMHO a lot of people know what it is a IP but they don't have enough knowledge about TCP/IP subneting... and this is a trouble at installing time And because some times I am lazy ;-) -thank you- The "calculation" was just using classes and these days, CIDR is more common than following just a stock A, B, or C class network. So the calculation was wrong more times than not and thus it makes more sense to just default to 255.255.255.0 always for consistency and because it's right more often. |
