I have a direct connection to the ethernet provided by a commercial
provider through a linux box. I also have a different subnet connected
to this box on which there is a SUN.
The SUN keeps getting strange routing addresses added to it. I don't
know how.
For instance, here is the output of netstat -r
Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
localhost localhost UH 0 2 lo0
35.15.255.0 35.12.225.1 UGH 0 0
131.103.0.0 35.12.225.1 UG 0 0
35.0.0.0 peakie U 4 11 le0
224.0.0.0 peakie U 4 0 le0
default peakie U 4 8 le0
The SUN is called peakie
I don't know what 35.12.225.1 is nor do I know how it gets into my
routing table. It is a live machine because I can ping it from my linux
box.
PING 35.12.225.1 (35.12.225.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 35.12.225.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=4.6 ms
64 bytes from 35.12.225.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=10.4 ms

64 bytes from 35.12.225.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=6.9 ms
Also, on the SUN, I keep getting error messages like
Mar 27 01:24:15 peakie unix: IP: Hardware address '08:00:20:0e:2a:f9'
trying to be our address 035.008.158.244!
I am afraid that things are quite messed up in this configuration.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Perhaps a firewall is the best
answer, but so far I have not been able to set one up.
Is there any other way of insulating things?
Thanks,
