>Description:

Deleting a network route without specifying -net returns
"delete host" when it should return "delete net".

The route is correctly removed from the route table.

>How-To-Repeat:
# route add -net 10.44.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 10.44.1.1
add net 10.44.1.0: gateway 10.44.1.1
# route delete -net 10.44.1.0
delete net 10.44.1.0

# route add -net 10.44.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 10.44.1.1
add net 10.44.1.0: gateway 10.44.1.1
# route delete 10.44.1.0
delete host 10.44.1.0

>Fix:
unknown.

 >>Synopsis:       "route delete" incorrectly reports "host" when deleting a network route

 	this behavior is not a bug.  "host" means "i'm about to issue a delete
 	request for host route", not that "i have removed a host route".

 The output is misleading and confusing ("I asked you to delete a
 network route and you deleted a host route?!?!"). It would be better
 to fix what is printed.
