It actually doesn't matter in this case. The netmasks file is only
important when creating net routes. A host route will always have a
netmask equivalent to /32. A check of the interfaces shows that they
have the correct netmasks. And I imagine that if the routes were in the
routing table with the wrong netmasks that lots of other things would
not work.
However, it would still be worthwile to do a "netstat -rvn" just to make
sure that all the routes' netmasks are what you expect them to be.
