Hi Bert - And thanks for asking, I appreciate it. I'll offer some feedback. I have a problem with routing that is driving me crazy. I am not able to make a Linux 2.4 kernel (Red Hat V7.1) route ICMP Echo REPLY packets back to the original PINGer. After studying the HOWTO and finding this list, I spent a bunch of time writing up the problem, drew up a really bad ASCII art picture and submitted the problem. It turned out, the list wraps the text, so that totally messed up the ASCII part picture I drew. But then nobody even replied telling me my ASCII art was bad. In fact, nobody even replied at all, other than the automated replies from the list system. And that goes to a core issue for me - I really want to use these nifty advanced routing capabilities with my customers, and I am willing to experiment and learn, but I need to know there really is a community out there to help with issues before I trust this stuff. I know everyone who posts to this list is volunteering time and not getting paid, and I really appreciate any help I can get on my issues. And since I asked for help, I also tried to help a couple other folks as best as I knew how. After all, fair is fair. But if I can't get answers to my basic questions here, I need to find answers somewhere else. thanks - Greg Scott -----Original Message----- From: bert hubert [mailto:ahu@xxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2001 2:36 PM To: lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LARTC] Everybody happy with the list + some new material Hi all 803 list members! This is your list maintainer & HOWTO author speaking. I've recently noted a lot of people leaving the list (although a lot of people have also been joining) - is anything wrong? I don't actually follow the list at all times, please let me know of any problems. Since posting has been restricted to members only, a lot of spam has been blocked which is good. However, a lot of bonafide mail has also been blocked because people aren't posting from the address they subscribed from. And I know for a fact that I lost one modification request for somebody that moved. If this is you, please resend. In other news, I added a section on HTB, http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing/HOWTO//cvs/2.4routing/output/2.4routing-10.html#ss 10.2 which you should read if you thing CBQ is complicated. And I added a link to docum.org, which you should visit. You should also visit http://www.linux-kongress.de - As you can see from the program http://www.linux-kongress.de/program.html a lot of cool people will be there. And I'll be there too, and even give a lecture. Hope to meet you there!
