Subject: help with invalid ICMP error
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 13:30:44 -0400
I have recently started getting to following error message whenever I
have a network connection established.
Jul 26 10:29:04 doppler kernel: 142.158.3.1 sent an invalid ICMP error
to a broadcast.
The error occurs frequently, every 5 minutes or so, whether I am doing
anything or not. Can somebody please tell me: 1. what is causing the
error, 2. how do I stop it, 3. is this a security problem, 4. If I leave
my network connection active, will it have any effect on the rest of the
network.
Any help you can give is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

I assume you have tried 'cp -p'? That tells cp to preserve the file
attributes.
I haven't used Samba, so I don't know that this will work there, but it

I specified SCSI Disk support and ppa support and anything else that I
involves printing, trying both in the kernel and as a module.
I ran:
make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install
Everything compiled fine. Then I copied the bzImage to /boot and modified
the lilo.conf accordingly. It doesn't want to detect my zip drive though.
Any ideas?

Yup. Sorry to sound smug, but based just on your Subject: line
I was pretty sure I knew what your problem was going to be, but
this clinches it: you're about to ask why a math function is
showing up as undefined, even though you've #included <math.h>.

It's platform specific, but it shouldn't/needn't be. You've been
burned by a historical misfeature, which is not your fault.

The short answer is that you need to use
gcc test.o -o test -lm
to explicitly request that the math library be searched.
(The comp.lang.c FAQ list would have told you this, by the way.)
Also, be extremely careful when naming a test program "test" on
a Unix or Linux system, as you can get some very strange results.
("test" is already a system program.) Best to name your program
something other than "test".

Have you? That's unusual. Usually you add an #include line for
a forgotten header file when the *compiler* complains about an
undeclared function or a missing prototype. Here, however, you
have the *linker* (though I guess that's not immediately obvious)
complaining about an undefined external reference, and you
generally fix those by adding missing libraries. (See also the
comp.lang.c FAQ list, question 13.25.)
> The stdio.h header is in the same directory as math.h
> (/usr/include) so it should be able to see the file.
Absolutely, and in fact the compiler *is* able to see that file.
(But that's not the problem.)
It's time for my semiannual plea to the GNU C and Linux
development communities: *PLEASE* bite the bullet and put the
math functions into libc, already! Why subject Tom Shannon
and yet another generation of C programmers to this silly,
unnecessary problem? GNU is Not, and tries to be better than,
Unix, so why perpetuate this old Unix misfeature? gcc goes out
of its way to help diagnose common problems (my favorite example
is "`struct x' declared inside parameter list; its scope is only
this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you
want"), so why does glibc go out of its way to cause this
particular, equally common problem?
Steve Summit
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
P.S. Yes, I know, gcc is not glibc, and GNU is not Linux, but
there's somebody out there who's stubbornly perpetuating the
old, unnatural segregation of the math functions into libm.a,
and I wish they'd quit it, or tell me why they can't.

Yes, it is essentially the same. The order that we do things are equal
(load sound module, adjust mixer setting, and then load midi module)
just the procedure that is different. It is working fine for me now,
thanks. Anyway, this may mean a bug in the awe64 midi module. What is
the linux distribution that you have? I have 2, the problem was with
Debian 2.1, which I use all the time. RedHat 6.0 apparently doesn't have
the problem but I don't use it often.

Hi, we're replacing a Windows PC with TinyTERM as a term emulator with a

I'd probably agree there - the only unsurmountable shared lib

I think, if companies are going to ship binary only versions of a program

Sorry for the burden, but nobody forced you to read this thread. I think
it's a toss up whether or not it's off topic. I've alerted people to some
shady business practice on the part of HP, specifically wrt. timeliness
announcements regarding a specific Intel chip. That seems somewhat

A very reasoned, adult-like response. To which I'll reply, "Sticks and
stones ..." or perhaps "I'm rubber and you're glue ..."
I can't understand why a reasoned, adult-like person like yourself would
fail to appreciate the virtues of honesty, which are often so rare in the
businessworld. But then again, perhaps I can.

To answer the original question, quoting from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
# If a SCSI tape has been detected, load the st module unconditionally
# since many SCSI tapes don't deal well with st being loaded and unloaded
if [ -f /proc/scsi/scsi ] && cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep -q 'Type: Sequential-Access'
2>/dev/null ; then
if cat /proc/devices | grep -qv ' 9 st' ; then
if [ -n "$USEMODULES" ] ; then
# Try to load the module. If it fails, ignore it...
modprobe st 2>/dev/null
fi
fi
fi
You might want to try commenting the above lines out and/or explicitly
unloading the tape driver afterwards, and see if your scsi driver/tape drive
can handle being unloaded. Note if your tape drive is not used daily to dump
at least the incrementals, you don't get much protection if you have to restore
files IMHO.

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/bin/vacation oracle"
(expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

Since I posted this the escape sequence was posted in another thread, so I
came up with this idea for my .bashrc (which works rather nicely):
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
echo -ne \\033]2\;xterm: `basename \`tty\``\\a
echo -ne \\033]1\;xterm: `basename \`tty\``\\a
fi
