This may be platform FC-5 specific...?<BR>
I have seen no nos-bbs traffic on the issue.<BR>
<BR>
The command in autoexec.nos:<BR>
ifconfig tun0 netmask 0xff000000<BR>
Followed by ifconfig produces the output:<BR>
...netmask 0xff000000...<BR>
Which is correct. NOTE: documentation demonstrates this format.<BR>
<BR>
But the command in autoexec.nos:<BR>
ifconfig tun0 netmask 255.0.0.0<BR>
Followed by ifconfig produces the output:<BR>
...netmask 0x00000255...<BR>
Which is not correct. NOTE: documentation does not demonstrate this format but it is used in example autoexec.nos files.<BR>
<BR>
I'm sad it took me so long to notice, jnos2.0d has been up here for months on FC-5 without obvious defect. I see nothing on the subject in the change log for 2.0e. If it is specific to FC-5, I suspect it may be the glibc version difference I am running under - and not worth much attention...<BR>
