RSpec equivalent of native rtproto

[Brecht Vermeulen]

Hi,

in native emulab ns scripts, users can set rtproto to turn on or off
automatic routing installation
(https://wiki.emulab.net/wiki/Tutorial#section-20).

Is there an equivalent through RSpecs ?
(specifically to turn it off - to manual)

The problem is the addition of an automatic 10.0.0.0/8 route that we
want to avoid.
The start up commands are executed later, and our user has already lost
connectivity to boss at that point so that the start up command
(containing a specific route) is not executed.

If it is not yet possible, is it much work to add it to RSpecs ?
(some users are also surprised by automatic route configuration)

extract of /var/emulab/logs/bootsetup.debug:

Hi. Its an easy addition to the code. It probably belongs in the
Emulab extension, so if Jon would add it to the schema, I will make
the change to the code.
