dnroute segfaults when starting Multinet...

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? Thanks again, Bob

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 Chrissie On 11 Nov 2010, at 19:12, Bob Armstrong wrote: I've used Linux DECnet successfully with local Ethernet connections, but now I'm trying to set up a Multinet link and dnroute segfaults every time I start the Multinet link.

Running E11 inside a virtual system

by gregg.drwho8＠gmail.com

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. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

gcc for pdp11

What a pity you didn't mention the Texas MSP430 single-chip system instead ;-) Quote from: http://www.eg3.com/msp430.htm "The MSP430 is a micro-controller family from Texas Instruments. Built around a 16-bit CPU, the MSP430 is designed for low cost, low power consumption embedded applications. The architecture is reminiscent of the DEC PDP-11. " My first views upon this architecture makes me wonder where quite some of the addressing modes went, but this is certainly closer to a real PDP than any AVR!
