I don't know DECnet for Linux, but is there a way that you could manually disable the eth1 circuit on sketti? Kind of a "define circuit eth1 state off"? DECnet/Linux is not supposed to be touching eth1. My /etc/default/decnet says - # DNET_INTERFACES specifies the names of ethernet interfaces whose # MAC address is to be set to the DECnet node address DNET_INTERFACES="eth0" and also the /etc/decnet.conf says #Node Node Name Node Line Line #Type Address Tag Name Tag Device #----- ------- ----- ----- ----- ------ executor 2.16 name sketti line eth0 So AFAIK the host DECnet should only be listening on eth0. Chrissy would probably know for sure. Bob
