There is a mismatch between /etc/rc2.d/S10network and /sbin/route that
causes failure in the setup of static-routes read from the
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes file. The S10network script explicitly removes
all references to the "gw" gateway flag in the static-routes table that it
passes through to the /sbin/route command (a la sysV conventions). However,
/sbin/route follows BSD conventions and expects the "gw" flag before the
gateway address, failure to include this flag returns the error:
SIOCADDRT: No such device.



Solution: EITHER change the /etc/rc2.d/S10network script removing the
marked lines

[rm]              if [ "${bogus}" = "gw" ]; then
[rm]                /sbin/route add -$type $dest $netmask $mask $args
[rm]              else
                /sbin/route add -$type $dest $netmask $mask $bogus $args
[rm]              fi

OR

allow /sbin/route to understand both BSD and sysV syntax (i.e. have the gw
flag be optional). This is probably the better solution.

This bugzilla interface is really very irritating, I seriously doubt I'll
bother to do this next time. Is it still possible to send bug reports to
bugs@redhat.com ? As not all bug reports fit this forms
based approach.
