Hi,

netstat -r prints link-layer generated routes and many
times the output becomes somehow obscure. For
example:

root at brad:0:/usr/home/src/FreeBSD-6/src/usr.bin/netstat# netstat -ranfinet

when the information I was actually looking for is:

root at brad:0:/usr/home/src/FreeBSD-6/src/usr.bin/netstat# netstat -rnfinet
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            10.1.1.244         UGS         0    31016    rl0
10.1.1/24          link#1             UC          0        0    rl0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0     1117    lo0
192.168.1          link#5             UC          0        0   fxp0
root at brad:0:/usr/home/src/FreeBSD-6/src/usr.bin/netstat# 


The attachment patch ("cvs diff -u -rHEAD route.c" generated) prints
link-layer generated routes when -a is specified and ignores them
the rest of the time.

Thoughts? POLA violation?
