adding routes and host

[T Nicolini]

We have a sco box running 3.2v5.0.4. We are adding a remote location
to connect to this box. To add the route would I edit the
/etc/rc2.d/S99routes file? I have seen other posts to edit the
/etc/tcp file but it contains none of our existing routes. My Unix is
limited but I am learning slowly. I cannot find any other file to
edit that has any route add or route get commands in it. After I do
edit teh file do I need to restart the server or simply stop and
restart the tcp service?

I also want to add a router to the hosts file. I found it in
/etc/hosts. I added a line like the one above it with the correct ip
add and hostname I have assigned. Does the hostname assigned mean
anything to the router or is it just for the Unix box?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

That's fine. But see [url]http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/scotec4.html#defaultroute[/url]

Neither. Just type "route add .. etc"

Meaningful only to the Unix box.
