---------- Original Question ----------
On 2.x, netstat -in shows following:

Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
Queue
lo0 8232 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 70 0 70 0 0
0
le0 1500 38.0.0.0 38.160.6.25 10542 1080 4780 1 38
0

I *want* it to show following:

Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
Queue
lo0 8232 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 70 0 70 0 0
0
le0 1500 38.160.6.0 38.160.6.25 10542 1080 4780 1 38
0

(Notice 3rd field of last line).

Which modification ( subnet, etc. ) should I make to achieve my goal?

Just in case it's relevant, this machine is an NIS client, and netstat
-rn
returns following:

Routing Table:
Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
38.0.0.0 38.160.6.25 U 3 41 le0
224.0.0.0 38.160.6.25 U 3 0 le0
default 38.160.6.102 UG 0 2
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 8 lo0

Thanks.

The answer is:

create entry in /etc/netmasks which says
38 255.255.255.0

Or, if NIS uses netmasks map, put this entry in /etc/netmasks on NIS
server machine.

Alternatively, use ifconfig with netmask argument as above to make the
change dynamically ( without reboot ).

Comment:

In my case, domain is subnetted, so for me 255.255.255.128 mask worked.

Thanks
