--==_Exmh_1172012800_49951P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline My laptop running current of Feb. 9 seems to be unable to configure and use a network interface early in the startup process. I use Tobias Roth's profile script to determine where my laptop is located and to configure it appropriately. This is done by setting an address on an interface and trying to ping a known neighbor (usually a router). This worked on systems built through Jan. 25, but now attempting to do this right after root is mounted RW, I get "sendto: permission denied". I get this at any point in the startup prior to netif. This is in single user mode, so this is quite baffling to me, although I realize that this method is unorthodox (and certainly not supported), but it has always worked and I don't see what broke it. Any ideas of what might be going on? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
