Subject: diald: Problems with dynamic addressing and 2.2.1 kernel
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 10:34:19 -0600 (EST)

Package: diald
Version: 0.16.5-3

I upgraded to the new 2.2.1 kernel last night. Since then I have noticed
a couple error messages related to the kernels dynamic rewriting of packet
headers.

In the boot sequence I have the command:
   echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr

as prescribed by the kernel documentation. And with all the 2.0.x kernels
it worked with no problem. Within seconds of establishing a ppp connection
the headers would be rewritten and the call that started diald will
connect.

However, with 2.2.1 the diald call will start the ppp, but the rewrite
does not happen. The xconsole log shows these two errors (I am presuming
they are related...?)

At the beginning of the call to diald...
 kernel: diald uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET) 

Then after the connection...
 kernel: tcp_v4_rebuild_header(): not valid sock addrs: saddr=00000000
rcv_saddr=00000000 

Once the connection is made any subsequent attempts to connect through the
ppp route succeed with no problem. It is just the process that causes
diald to begin. This becomes a problem when I run cron jobs to connect
without my presence to start the connection and then stop it.

Subject: kernel 2.2.x will be in potato whether you like it or not
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 21:25:58 -0800

severity 32592 important
thanks

Joel Klecker decided that 2.2.x will be in potato when he made egcs the
default C compiler (rendering 2.0.x un-compilable with a potato system).

Therefore, everything in potato must work with 2.2.x come release time.

The notes I've been keeping (and have since lost :) on this bug claim a
new upstream release is out that fixes this.

Subject: New upstream version 0.99 may fix this problem
Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 08:48:01 +0200 (CEST)

Hi!

There is a new upstream (0.99, debian only has 0.16) which might solve the
problems with 2.2.x-kernels.

btw: bugs #35396 and #34712 should be merged. 

btw2: upstream author has changed: see http://diald.unix.ch

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

severity 32592 fixed

I believe that this bug has been fixed, since I have uploaded the current version 0.91.1 .  I have no way to test this however, and was unable to reach the original submitter (David Morris).  If anyone can reproduce this bug feel free to change the severity back.

Thanks,

Chris
