6.9 Correcting RIS Gateways File Entries
The /var/adm/ris/gateways file contains information about the address
of the gateway between the client system and the RIS server. When you
register a new client (Section 6.2), the ris utility queries this file to
determine if a gateway is already specified for the client’s network subnet. If
not, you are prompted to supply the IP address of the gateway.
If you enter the gateway address incorrectly, log in as root (or
use the su command to gain superuser privileges) and edit the
/var/adm/ris/gateways file to correct the entry. Entries in the gateways
file have the following format:
subnet_addr:gateway_addr
