Hi All
using net tools 1.52 and arp 1.85 from it (released about 4 days ago)
(I am wondering where to get the NET 4 tools (that program called ip and
other assorted things as I cant for the life of me find them anywhere)
on a 2.2.6 machine
[22:02:12] 67 groki root ~>./arp -H ether -i eth0 -Ds sarzi eth0 pub
[22:02:31] 68 groki root ~>./arp
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
sjhmmj.marian ether 00:00:F8:10:77:D7 C eth0
sarzi.marian * * MP eth0
where as on a 2.0.36 machine (using net tools 1.45 and arp 1.83)
[22:04:46] 8 nserv root ~>arp -H ether -i eth0 -Ds sarzi eth0 pub
[22:04:55] 9 nserv root ~>arp
Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface
sjhmmj.marian ether 00:40:05:59:BF:D2 C eth0
sarzi.marian ether 00:40:05:4C:5B:5A CMP eth0
the proxy arp works fine
and yes I did try a command along the lines of
./arp -H ether -i eth0 -s sarzi 00:00:F8:08:A7:34 pub
once again it worked on the 2.0.* machine and not on the 2.2.* machine
(dont worry about sjhmmj being different on the two machines as
they are accesed over different physical networks from the two
machines, I added the sarzi arp on the 2.0.36 machine as an example, it
isnt anywhere near the physical network sarzi is on and wont do much
more than sit there looking pretty)
anyway after looking through arp.c in net-tools I am pretty sure it is
the kernel getting this wrong.
It is abboying that debugging this will involve me rebooting a computer
often as I cant modularise it :( (doing insmod net3 or something would
be a damn interesting feature (probably not necessary but hey <g>))
So I would love it if someone can fix this or knows about it.
Thanks
See You
Steve
