Hi All.
There is some planned downtime in the university network that will
probably make mim.update.uu.se and anything else running under
update.uu.se unavailable from midnight til morning on the 24:th of
november.
If you read swedish:

Notice that I have no control over this, I'm just the messenger.
Regards,
Pontus

Thanks, Chrissie - good point. I downloaded the latest source tarball from
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/all/dnprogs
and recompiled everything under lenny. [I must say that the recompile was
pretty painless as these things go.]
Now I have
ziti:/home/bob# dnroute -V
dnroute from dnprogs version 2.55
A few things appear different, but sadly dnroute still segfaults after
starting Multinet
ziti:/home/bob# dmesg | grep -i dnroute
[ 94.112034] dnroute[2996]: segfault at 0 ip 0804ac18 sp bfc40f70
error 4 in dnroute[8048000+6000]
I notice that the Multinet daemon no longer prints the address of the
adjacent node as it did before - don't know if that's significant or if that
behavior was just removed. And I also notice that the Multinet daemon now
exits (silently, without any message, good, bad or indifferent) shortly
after it's started (and presumably shortly after dnroute goes Tango
Uniform).
Is there a plan B?
I don't have a plan B sorry.
As I mentioned some time ago, I don't have the resources to maintain DECnet any more :-(

Hiya
The thing to do is to upgrade dnprogs. Version 2.45 has a changelog entry that says "fix crash in dnroute daemon"
;-)
The latest version is 2.55

Hello!
November question time. I have here a virtual system, running Windows
Server 2003, naturally its biggest problem is that of its also running
on top of an OS from the same firm as the virtual system frame, but
that's besides the point. (We can trade those insults off list later.)
Now the question, "Has anyone managed to get the latest release of E11
running that way with, any of the operating systems who support
Ethernet?", and then following that, "What suggestions are available
for making it available via a dynamically assigned name and IP address
to the network?".
My ISP seems to want to deliver an IP address to me via PPPoE for
normal commercial DSL, I once asked about a static IP address, but the
service hid behind some outlandish reason at the time that it wasn't
possible. I suspect its because the ISP, then Covad behind AT&T, never
considered such a method of delivery for its commercial, read
household, customers, and hence went ahead with what it believed to be
an easy method. Then in March I migrated from that method of having a
ISP to work with to just Covad. Same other e-mail addresses naturally.
To supply the occasional access method for the systems, for when I was
away from here, and needed to do so, I went ahead and used the
services of DDNS to make a hostname available. I chose the vendor
http://www.dyndns.com/ simply because it would be an easy
configuration step, then, or so I thought.

Paul,
STARS:: has the RSX AME installed. It would be very easy to test this.

If you wish to push it to STARS:: we can sure find out soon enough!
