Description:

I have manually run the 'route add default' command to add
a default route to the route table. This route works
successfully, but I also want this route to be added to
the route table automatically whenever the system is rebooted.



Solution:

The 'route add default' statement should be added in the
/etc/rc2.d directory. In SCO Open Server 3.0, the route
add statement was included in /etc/tcp or /etc/rc.d/8/userdef.
However, in SCO OpenServer 5.0, some of the startup scripts
are executed in parallel which cause some timing issues.
Therefore it is recommended that a new file named S99route be
created in /etc/rc2.d which includes the route add statement.

# cd /etc/rc2.d
# vi S99route

echo "Setting default route"
/etc/route add default <IP#> (where <IP#> is the 'gateway' IP
address)

# chown root S99route
# chgrp sys S99route
# chmod 744 S99route

DUMP_SOCKDFR(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   DUMP_SOCKDFR(8)

NAME
dump_sockdfr - Display contents of frozen route file for SOCKS server SYNOPSIS
dump_sockdfr [infile] DESCRIPTION
dump_sockdfr reads in a frozen route file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of its contents on the standard output. The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fr is assumed. The frozen route file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially the memory image of the parsed route file. Using the frozen route file can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents. When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen route file /etc/sockd.fr first. If that file is not found, it then tries to use the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen version of a previous route file.
