Where does this come from? That route is part of the zero configuration project. You can get rid of this by adding the line: NOZEROCONF=yes to the /etc/sysconfig/network file. To learn more about this do a google on Zero Conf. From what I understand it is an attempt to setup systems such that when they are not given any config information via DHCP or statically they would spontaneously setup networking so they could talk to similarly un-configured systems. Now why anyone would want this I don't know. And why it mucks up the routing tables when you do have networking configured I don't know. Personally it looks like a huge security hole that will explode when enough systems have been infected with this stuff. -- Scot L. Harris <webid@xxxxxxxxxx>
