System: NetBSD arioch 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (ARIOCH) #0: Mon Jul 13 12:58:46 PDT 1998 elric@arioch:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ARIOCH i386

(This isn't the version of the OS I's checking.)

>Description:

On line 247 of src/distrib/utils/sysinst/net.c, we have:

		run_prog("/sbin/route -f > /dev/null 2> /dev/null");

but route -f is not a valid use of route.

>How-To-Repeat:

Well, I was just wondering through the code and noticed this.  I haven't
really thought about symptoms, except to note that it really isn't what
was intended.

>Fix:

I am guessing that one wants to:

$ vi net.c
247G0/-f^McWflush^[ZZ

Basically replace the -f with a flush.
