route/proute support page
This program is a very nasty hack of
xroute to work as simple
route between port on
localhost and remote
host:port.
xroute is written by Kartik Subbarao, Workstation Systems Division,
Hewlett-Packard
(
subbarao@fc.hp.com),
and hack is done by Dobrica Pavlinusic while working at Faculty of
Organization and Informatics
(
dpavlin@rot13.org).
It needs machine and C compiler to compile. :-)
(p)route is tested on Linux and Digital UNIX (OSF1).
Distribution
(p)route is distributed in source code. However, compiling and
installing is trivial. Here you can find:
What's new...
Change from route to proute

Added switch -i for working in inittab

Notices
To compile
route on Solaris use following command and not make:
cc -o route route.c -Dhpux -lnsl -lsocket
and ignore all warnings.
Disclaimer
This tool is
hack. Don't try to learn programming from it!

Known bugs
proute option -b
doesn't work under OSF!
