Re: DN address in Kernel 2.2.12

["John C. Ellingboe" <john@guntersville.net>]

Hello,

I may be getting just a little bit smart about kernel 2.2.12 and
Linux-DECnet after all.  I have been playing with some of the echo to
/procs statements.  It seems that you have to set the node name and
maybe address before the default device will set.  Maybe some other
things have to run first also because the default_dev did not take
effect when the echo statements were added to my decnet file at
S12decnet.

I created a file /etc/init.d/dnprocs and called it at
/etc/rcS.d/S46dnprocs.  Everything shows up in the proper /procs and
seems work properly now.

/etc/init.d/dnprocs

echo  "jcell" > /proc/sys/net/decnet/node_name
echo  "1.2" > /proc/sys/net/decnet/node_address
echo -n "eth0" > /proc/sys/net/decnet/default_device

Thanks a bunch to all of you that added to my education.  That proves
that an old dog can learn new tricks after all.
