1857.0. "changing exports adds bad route" by CSC32::PITT () Tue Feb 04 1997 14:58

    
    
    Customer states that when he goes through ase manager and makes a
    change/addition to his exports file, all works well except that it
    adds an extranseous route to his /etc/routes file which causes 
    routing problems. 
    
    He did apply the patch listed below which did resolve some other
    problems he was seeing, but this problem remains:
    
     status update has been added to the case:
    
    [This update was sent from STEINMAN on 22-OCT-1996 15:42:35.18]
    [Problem submitter responsible for next action, Problem is undefined]
    
    
    The problem has been isolated to an ASE script "nfs_ifconfig" in
    /var/ase/sbin
    the following line needs to be corrected:
    
    From:
    {IFCONFIG} ${ALIASDEV} -alias ${ALIAS} netmask ${ALIASNETMASK} >>
    ${LOGGER}
    2>&1
    
    To:
    
    ${IFCONFIG} ${ALIASDEV} -alias ${ALIAS} >> ${LOGGER} 2>&1
    
    This correction has been tested inhouse on engineering labs system.
    
    Hand patch:
    
            cd /usr/var/ase/sbin
            vi nfs_ifconfig
    earch for "-alias"
    
            /-alias
    Delete "netmask ${ALIASNETMASK}" from the below line:
    
    ${IFCONFIG} ${ALIASDEV} -alias ${ALIAS} netmask ${ALIASNETMASK} >>
    ${LOGGER}
    2>&1
    
    Reboot systems.
    
    This hand patch should be applied to all systems before rebooting.

    Customer is running 4.0a dunix. 
    
    Has anyone else seen this behaviour? 
    
    thanks.
