To make a long story short, HPUX "route" command things this is still 1987
and goes
"Hmmm, no metric, let's pull 0 out of my ass"
"Hmmm, what's the gateway? How many hops away is that?"
"Hey, he said metric 0, and that's one hop!"
"This mother needs a confusing error message, telling me that 1 hop gateway
is 0 hops away like that"
I just LOVE dealing with a computer that's using early-80's versions of
network utilities. Makes me nostalgic for Xenix 286 it does. NOT.
Hey, HP, it's 2005, you haven't updated this software in 20 years, isn't it
about effing time you did? Wouldn't it have been a REALLY GOOD IDEA to take
advantage of the fact that Tru64 is based on 4.3-Reno (AKA 4.4 beta) instead
of 4.2 or 4.1D or whatever prehistoric discarded backup tape you used to spawn
HPUX from, and use it instead of this ... AUGH
HATE
