hi all!

I recently upgraded from 2.1->2.1.5, and have an odd startup problem. I
do not want any default routes on boot, so I set "defaultrouter=NO" in
my sysconfig file. I also do not have any default routes defined in the
static route section. Yet, on boot, I get a default route to my network
I/F (ep0, which is connected to a private, i.e., 10.0.0.0 network, that
I do not want as the default). I can work around this by deleting the
default route, but this did not happen under 2.1.

Am I doing something wrong?
