Hi
 I have a i386 running 1.5_ALPHA and i get the above message
when trying a netstat command

mallow# netstat -rn
netstat: no namelist

Should i not be concerned with this and just update to ALPHA2 or am i
doing something wrong

The machine in questions has two ethernet interfaces and uses the 
roaringpenguin pppoe to setup a net connection. So far, so good (that is
how i wrote this message)

ifconfig -a follows

ne0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu

Thanks

Chris

ps, the other strange thing is that even though net.inet.ip.forwarding is
set to one, the machine does not route from the 192.197.120.x to the net.
