/etc/rc.d/netif wont add default gateway
hi!

whenever i run /etc/rc.d/netif it will read rc.conf and add the pc IP and netmask but it wont read the default gateway resulting lost connectivity to internet

my rc.conf:
Quote:
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
hostname="msc.edu"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.9 netmask 255.255.255.0"
inetd_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
saver="daemon"
sshd_enable="YES"
#usbd_enable="YES"
when i issue /etc/rc.d/netif restart:
Quote:
[root@msc ~]# /etc/rc.d/netif restart
Stopping network: lo0 rl0 plip0 pfsync0 pflog0.
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.1.9 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:15:e9:7c:76:12
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
the result of running netif to routing tables:
[root@msc ~]# netstat -rn

i have to manually add default gateway to get my gateway back on routing tables:
Quote:
[root@msc ~]# route add default 192.168.1.1
add net default: gateway 192.168.1.1
Quote:
[root@msc ~]# netstat -rn

ff01:5::/32 fe80::1%lo0 UC lo0
ff02::%lo0/32 fe80::1%lo0 UC lo0
my question is, why /etc/rc.d/netif wont read directly from my /etc/rc.conf as I already stated the defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" there?

i'm on FreeBSD 6.2 on LAN
thanks for helping

or anyone can assist me in creating a cronjob so it will check and add default gateway every x/minutes?

like:
Quote:
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * [*what should i script here*] >/dev/null 2>&1

sadly no answer to this
i am asking because i have told as for my /etc/rc.conf changes to take effects, i must use /etc/rc.d/netif to restart the services
but i found it later that i will be disconnected from my remote terminal just because /etc/rc.d/netif wont care about routing
it's a pain to get connected back to the remote terminal

i've found out later that i must use /etc/rc.d/routing together with netif
for e.g:
Code:
/etc/rc.d/netif restart; /etc/rc.d/routing restart

/etc/rc.d/routing will re add back the routing tables after it has been flushed by /etc/rc.d/netif

thanks
