Re: Phantom default gateway

Thanks, the chdev option does "work" (albeit with the errors you
mentioned for route which is understandable).

What was odd was that there were more than a few other default routes
listed for the primary adapter as well.
These were historic/legacy default gateways used from the time the box
was setup in house to when the box was installed on site.

When switching segments, we would just go in with smit tcpip and
change the info there.
So apparently it doesn't overwrite this info in inet0, it just adds to
it.
Fortunately it seems to use the last one entered and doesn't add the
others to your "live" routing table which is why probably nobody
notices.

It also mostly explains why blanking out the gateway for that nic in
smit didn't delete it in inet0.
It just didn't change anything and kept the old.

Thanks for the help.
