    Hi Folks,

    We have a Sol x86 2.8 box (on an internal network) and due to a disk
    crash, we
    took the down time to patch it to the then latest recommended patches. We
    also had changed the server's name a while back. Now:
     uname -a
    SunOS exp2 5.8 Generic_117351-24 i86pc i386 i86pc

    /etc/hosts has:
    192.168.05.241 exp2 exp2.wiwb.circ7.dcn wiwb2ei loghost
    192.168.05.249 exp2-train exp2-train.wiwb.circ7.dcn wiwb2etri
    192.168.05.242 exp2-test exp2-test.wiwb.circ7.dcn wiwb2etsi
    nsswitch.conf has "files dns" for hosts
    /etc/hostname.bcme0 has exp2
    /etc/hostname.bcme1 has exp2-test
    /etc/hostname.bcme1:1 has exp2-train

    netstat -r shows:
    Routing Table: IPv4
      Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
    -------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
    192.168.04.0 exp2 U 1 180 bcme0

    192.168.04.0 exp2-train U 1 0 bcme1:1
    localhost localhost UH 24 3959 lo0

    (-n shows the hosts' table IPs)

    ifconfig -a
    lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
            inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
    bcme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
            inet 192.168.05.241 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.05.255
            ether 0:b:cd:4f:ee:9b
    bcme1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
            inet 192.168.05.242 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.05.255
            ether 0:b:cd:4f:ea:9d
    bcme1:1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index
    3
            inet 192.168.05.249 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.05.255

    Bringing it up after the patching it hung and after a bit of work (single
    user mode's screen is quite hard to use, stty is no help) found it was the
    /usr/sbin/route -n add default $router

    command in rc2.d/S69inet - $router was set to the correct IP
    (192.168.04.240).
     Commenting that out, I could bring it up but any router command (as in
    the:
     /usr/sbin/route -n add -interface 224.0/4 exp2

    which S69inet tries later on, fortunately w/ an '&') hangs and can't be
    even -9 killed. I did some searching and found somebody who had NFS
    troubles relating to this, but we don't use NFS on this box.

    Any assistance will be much appreciated as we can't add a default gateway
    on the box anymore.

    Thanks.

    a
