Greetings everyone! Thanks to a URL given to me by a subscriber to this list, I was able to successfully upgrade my home system from 2.2.7-Stable to 3.0-Stable. However, I've run into a couple of anomalies that I thought one of you might have some ideas with. The first has to do with logging into my system. I log in fine, but I run "uptime" and "users" as part of my .login script. When they run, I see some strange output: uptime: /dev//data: No such file or directory 1:32AM up 2 days, 23:40, 1 user, load averages: 0.04, 0.04, 0.00 Users online: 10.0.0.3 data That happens regardless of whether the programs are run from .login, or if I run them manually from the prompt. I have no idea how it's confusing my login name with the name of a tty... I also don't know how it's getting the IP address that I ssh to my system from (from my NT box) as another name..! 10.0.0.3 is the IP address of my NT machine on my LAN. I've tried recreating the devices in /etc using MAKEDEV; didn't change anything. Any hints on this will be greatly appreciated! The other thing I keep running into has to do with my network setup. I have to explain how my network is set up, though: I have a total of 4 computers, plus 1 HP JetDirect EX Plus. 2 of the computers run FreeBSD (one belongs to a friend), and 2 run NT. My BSD machine, ds9, has 2 3Com 3C590 ethernet cards, which are vx0 and vx1. My friend's BSD machine has just 1. All of the machines connect to a hub, which in turn uplinks to my cable modem. The 2 BSD machines each get their IP addresses from RoadRunner (my cable ISP), and on my machine, that IP goes to vx0. vx1 on my machine is configured with an IP address of 10.0.0.1, and acts as the gateway for my NT machines. My friend's BSD machine has an IP aliased onto its single ethernet adapter of 10.0.0.2, so that in case the cable modem or DHCP server goes down, the machines on my local net can still talk to each other. (My NT machines are .3 and .4, and the JetDirect is .5.) What I've been noticing since the upgrade are things like this, which keep appearing in my log files: Feb 15 01:26:20 ds9 /kernel: arp: 24.94.29.1 is on vx0 but got reply from 08:00:3e:04:86:b6 on vx1 Feb 15 01:32:18 ds9 /kernel: arp: 10.0.0.3 is on vx1 but got reply from 00:10:4b:c9:27:12 on vx0 24.94.29.1 is the IP address of the RoadRunner router for my area. I have no clue why RR's router would be talking to my vx1 interface, nor do I know why my NT machine would be talking to my vx0 interface. I suspect it has something to do with routing tables, but I don't know enough about how that works to be able to check. "arp -a" didn't yield anything, either. As with the other problem, any hints or advice will be gladly accepted. Thanks in advance! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * * "Insanity takes its toll.
