That first line still looks redundant to me. doug -- Douglas R Waud 17 Lantern Lane, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545-2006 http://www.ummed.edu/pub/d/drw/

"Comments/" is a dangerous thing to write :-) The second line looks right to me. The first line then becomes suspect since you do not need a gateway (as in the G of UG) to the network you are part of. In turn, that default on the last line also makes me suspicious. To set up my default gateway, I type something like route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and I get a line in the route -n output that looks like 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 with no default in the first position but rather the more reasonable 0.0.0.0 which, with the rest of the line says to go to 192.168.1.1 for anything outside of the local network. The combination of these two features makes me wonder whether you are mistyping the route command to set up the GW line. When I get something like those two lines I get rid of them and reenter what I then hope to be :-) a more syntactically correct route command and then check route -n to see if I got it right. Hope this helps a bit. :-) > And, "route" hangs for a while before printing the last line.

Re: [Wlug] routing table question

The hanging is because it's trying to do a DNS lookup on 192.168.1.1. running it with the -n switch will fix that. Could you paste the output of route -n to us? I'd like to see what ip address millie.mills.cu is. And include the output of 'ifconfig eth0' just so we have a complete picture.

Brian, I'd be interested. I'm currently running a dual P5-233 system, and I'd really like to upgrade it. I'd consider donating my older board and CPUs (or some proceeds from its sale) to the WLUG/WPILA if it works out OK. Please let me know.

You can take the SRPM from Red Hat 7.0 and rebuild it on 6.x like so: rpm --rebuild --define 'build_6x 1' openssh-2.5.2p2-1.7.2.src.rpm (You need to have installed at least openssl and openssl-devel for this to work. These come with Red Hat 6.2. I would recommend installing all the 6.2 updates on your 6.1 system before doing this.) If you want 2.9p1 (for 6.x or 7.x) I have made packages available (but these are not completely tested yet. I do know of problems on Alpha at least. Use at your own risk). I would not use the 2.9p1 src.rpm distributed by the OpenSSH portability team, since it does not contain all the necessary things for it to work correctly on Red Hat (for instance, correct PAM files.): ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/cra-contrib/redhat6/SRPMS/openssh-2.9p1-0.6x.sr… subssn> I'm wondering if I'm running into basic code problems, or subssn> is it likely that the ssh2 installation needs some careful subssn> manual cleanup prior to decommission it. OpenSSH uses fairly different config files that are reminiscent of the old ssh 1.2 from which it was derived. A clean RPM install should handle these sorts of issues for you assuming you pay attention to any files that are installed as *.rpmnew and rename/merge them with the old files. subssn> I'm back running ssh2, but I'd like to stick with open subssn> source, if possible. Suggestions? For now, I would recommend staying with the Red Hat-packaged openssh-2.5.2p2-1.7.2 from RH 7.0, rebuilding it on 6.2, and installing that. This set up should be the most stable configuration available for Red Hat. Other than that, the only other thing I can recommend is either upgrading to Red Hat 6.2 or at least installing all of the 6.1 updates followed by the 6.2 updates. (Red Hat only supports/releases updates for the latest minor release within a major release). Charles R.
