Very Computer

We have a completely self contained network on a single subnet so we do
not require routing services.  Where do I look to figure out why the
routed is running like it is?  I have compared some of the configuration
files (/etc/tcp, etc.) with other SCO boxes on the network that have
routed running but are not broadcasting and have not found the difference
yet.  Where else should I look?

Thanks,
-Chris

If you want to run routed, but not send out packets, then run it with the
-q option.  That tells it to keep quiet.  One of my systems looks like:-

        if [ -x /etc/routed -a ! -f /etc/gated.conf ]; then
                routed -k $K -q; echo "routed \c"
        fi
