I know why iproute2 is installed. Like I said before, I have openvpn installed with the iproute2 use flag. What I didn't know was why iproute2 was being used by the startup system when the handbook said that ifconfig was the defalt. I hadn't overridden that default, so I was expecting ifconfig to be used by the startup system. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! I think my career at is ruined! gmail.com
