A bit of a route socket bug...

[Matthew Luckie]

I'm not very familiar with the route code, but here is what i came up with.

[mjl at rayon mjl]$ sudo route change 10.3.2.1 127.0.0.1
route: writing to routing socket: No such process
change host 10.3.2.1: gateway 127.0.0.1: not in table

the code checks that if changing a host or network route, that the
route returned by a lookup matches this type.  for network routes, it
also ensures that the netmask matches.
