I've noticed something in the newer kernels 2.1.X
and above.
Namely that upon startup, Dial-D attempts to make
an entry in the routing table, but since the new kernel
automatically makes a ghosted entry for all active
interfaces, (including sl0) the action fails and Dial-D
quits with an error.
New network tools fix the odd display of routing entries,
but won't make the kernel stop doing this.. the HQ appears
to applaude this as a good thing.
I hate it, because "ghosted" interfaces do not appear in
the regular routing table.. the only way you know they
are there are through trial and error, or causal reference
in developer 'groups.
They appear to make many older tools and programs incompatible
with the new kernel.. could someone explain to me why this is
a 'good' thing?
As for IP Chains, they appear simpler than ipfwadm, but
documentation is very scarce.. most rules seem to translate
transparently.
