The <tt>/etc/networks</tt> file lists the names and addresses of your own,
and other, networks. It is used by the <tt>route</tt> command, and allows
you to specify a network by name, should you so desire.
<P>
<A NAME=6092>&#160;</A>
Every network you wish to add a route to using the <tt>route</tt>
command (generally called from <tt>rc.inet1</tt>---see above) <em>must</em>
have an entry in <tt>/etc/networks</tt>.
<P>
As an example,
<P><TT> <PRE>default 0.0.0.0 # default route - mandatory
loopnet 127.0.0.0 # loopback network - mandatory
mynet 128.253.154.0 # Modify for your own network address
