Description jhs freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 1996-10-18 15:20:09 UTC
	Routed American not understandable in English.

	/usr/src/*/routed/table.c
	creates console messages like this:
	  Oct 16 13:10:46 vector routed[63]: punt RTM_LOSING without gateway
	
	That's not English (I am :-)
	`punt'
	        in the Penguin English Dictionary ('85-86) refers to a verb & noun: 
	        to punt (propel) a punt (flat bottom boat) on a river (or fen).
	`punt'
	        in American (according to Jordan, years ago, so forgive any inaccuracy):
	                to abandon or give up on something, or decline an invitation
	
	The message is obscure,
	a more globaly understandable word would be better, patch follows
	(feel free to choose a better American to global English translation
	than mine, I don't know what `punt' is except by hearsay,
	but `abort' is nearly as short :-)

Fix: =========
How-To-Repeat: 
	Run current, drop modem slip link

I think "ignore" is what is really meant in all of these places.
