Dave, Sorry for the delay in answering your query; I was on vacation for about a week in mid January. Just catching up with my email now. I'm preparing a new kip release (0287) for next week that should solve your problem. Meanwhile can you mail me a copy of your atalkatab file so that I can look it over? Below is a list of (mostly minor) bugs fixed in the 0287 release. kip/gw.c/iematch(), abmatch(); unsigned compares failing The range checks for ARP matching on the IP dynamic addresses are failing sometimes due to unsigned compare wraparound. New code rewrites these functions to avoid unsigned compares. Since Stanford has a class A address, we didnt uncover this until class B and C sites started using the code. [reported by mckay@ee.ecn.purdue.edu, hemphill@nrl-aic, etc.] kip/rtmp.c/artinput(); allow arbitrary format broadcast addresses The old code made assumptions about the route table entry for the directly attached ether cable. The new code allows this to be set instead from the atalkad. [reported by mckay@ee.ecn.purdue.edu, dk1z#@andrew.cmu.edu, etc.] kip/gw.c/routeddp(); route failure with interbridge An extraneous routing loopback check was discarding appletalk packets with src&dst on the same cable. Check removed. [reported by gcc-milo!brad] kip/etc/atalkad.c; 4.3 BSD function name conflict Rename the atalkad.c function getshort() to be getashort(). 4.3 domain name server library already has a function called getshort(). kip/etc/atalkad.c; zero zone name field Since zone name field length may change upon a reread of atalkatab, that field should be zeroed in the structure passed to the kboxes. [reported by gcc-milo!brad] kip/etc/atalkad.c; (month/date) in atalkalog January is being reported as month number zero(!) cap/samples/papif.c assumes special lpd Papif assumes that lpd has been modified to pass the printer name to the filter with the '-p' switch. To avoid this dependency a trivial shell file can be setup that execs in papif with the proper -p switch along with the previous arguments. kip/etc/install kip/etc/broadcasting Revisions to the documentation to better explain IP broadcasting issues.
