Gated works on Linux fine, >however. I hope you mean that Linux's routed is "inherently broken for routing," not that routed itself doesn't work. In BSD based IP systems, gated has very few advantages over 4.3BSD routed for version 1 RIP. In fact, gated's RIP advantages, fancier and more flexible configuration facilities, are also a disadvantage. Many commercial UNIX systems come out of the box with routed installed and turned on. Of course, outside RIP version 1, gated has many advantages, supporting OSPF, egp, and so on. Vernon Schryver vjs@rhyolite.com
