Do you mean an empty text file, with the command,

route add net 10.10.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1

for example, added in the first line?

How do you know, from the output of netstat -rn, what gateway to put in? What netmask to use?

Why is the file called /etc/rc2.d/S76static-routes? Does the S76 have significance? Is it always S76 or does the number change based upon the situation?

Why is there a hyphen there in the name? Other writeups have just S, a number, and the word ’staticroutes’. Does it matter?

How do you test a static route to make sure it worked?

I cannot find any of this information on the web.

Unfortunately I cannot reboot the box I am on, so I have no way of knowing if this ‘permanent’ route will come back.

how do go about opening the port.
