Here was the original question:

I have a 4.3 box that has two interfeaces, qe0 and ne0 (it is a 5500).
Now this machine has not been touched in years and I didn't set it up.  My
network guy set up a router to broadcast 209.69.218.127/25 netmask
255.255.255.128 and for whatever reason, the ultrix box decided (as seen
by the network guy's router) to broadcast itself as the entire class c of
209.69.218.0/24, which is, of course, completely wrong.  it shouldn't be
broadcasting anything to do with this address.  How can I track down what
is going on?  I've done netstat's but I'm not certin in /etc what to look
for for this promiscuous routing.

Who suggested I look at gated and routed.  I still don't know why the
ultrix box picked up the route, but it could be because it was a CIDR
route,
which the ultrix box might not be able to handle.  The Ultrix box was
running
routed, but the ip space was specified in the /etc/rc.local and had
nothing
to do with the one that the box picked up.

So, nothing really solved the problem except shutting off routed

thanks
