After working around the video symbols compile issue, 2.5.67-mm3 seems to be mostly happy here -

There's an interesting new buglet in 2.5.67-mm3, which I see on both boxes here which have booted 2.5.67-mm3 - I don't see this in -mm2.

The symptom here is that running the "ruptime" command on an -mm3 box shows all hosts down -

Interestingly, the other hosts are getting the rwho broadcasts from the -mm3 box, but the -mm3 box is unable to process rwho broadcasts, including it's own -

Cheers,

Joe

Does it use IP multicast? There were recent changes in there. CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST may need to be fiddled with.

It only uses normal ip broadcast AFAIK -
I don't see a solaris-like "-m" option in the
linux man page for rwhod -
