DU 4.0a

I am having problems getting netsetup to accept a class B netmask.
When I enter 255.255.0.0 at a netsetup prompt it says that entry is invalid.

I tried changing rc.config, and netsetup works, but everything acts like
the class C netmask is still active.

bash# ifconfig tu0
tu0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
     inet 192.168.1.200 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ipmtu 1500

Any ideas?

Thanks
