Radix cross Linux

     5         kx This is netkit-routed-0.18 for Linux.
     5         kx 
     5         kx This package updates netkit-routed-0.17.
     5         kx 
     5         kx If you're reading this off a CD, go right away and check the net
     5         kx archives for later versions and security fixes. As of this writing the
     5         kx home site for NetKit is

     5         kx 
     5         kx Contents:
     5         kx 	routed		RIP-based routing daemon
     5         kx 	ripquery	Query program for routed
     5         kx 
     5         kx Requires:
     5         kx 	Working compiler, libc, and kernel.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Security:
     5         kx 	This release contains no security fixes relative to
     5         kx 	netkit-routed-0.17. However, netkit-routed-0.10 and older are
     5         kx 	insecure and should not be used.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Installation:
     5         kx 	Do "./configure --help" and decide what options you want. The
     5         kx 	defaults should be suitable for most Linux systems. Then run
     5         kx 	the configure script.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Do "make" to compile.
     5         kx 	Then (as root) do "make install".
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Save a backup copy of any mission-critical program in case the
     5         kx 	new one doesn't work, and so forth. We warned you.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	If you get gcc warnings from files in /usr/include, they are
     5         kx 	due to problems in your libc, not netkit. (You may only see
     5         kx 	them when compiling netkit because netkit turns on a lot of
     5         kx 	compiler warnings.)
     5         kx 
     5         kx DEC CC:
     5         kx 	The DEC compiler for the Alpha is now freely available. This
     5         kx 	is a much better compiler with gcc, that is, it generates much
     5         kx 	better code. If you have the DEC compiler, you can explicitly
     5         kx 	use the DEC compiler instead of gcc by configuring like this:
     5         kx 
     5         kx 		./configure --with-c-compiler=ccc
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	It is known to generate spurious warnings on some files. Also,
     5         kx 	some headers from some versions of glibc confuse it; that may
     5         kx 	prevent	netkit from working. Other problems should be reported
     5         kx 	as bugs.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Bugs:
     5         kx 	Please make sure the header files in /usr/include match the
     5         kx 	libc version installed in /lib and /usr/lib. If you have weird
     5         kx 	problems this is the most likely culprit.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Also, before reporting a bug, be sure you're working with the
     5         kx 	latest version.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	If something doesn't compile for you, fix it and send diffs.
     5         kx 	If you can't, send the compiler's error output.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	If it compiles but doesn't work, send as complete a bug report as 
     5         kx 	you can. Patches and fixes are welcome, as long as you describe 
     5         kx 	adequately what they're supposed to fix. Please, one patch per
     5         kx 	distinct fix. Please do NOT send the whole archive back or
     5         kx 	reindent the source.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Be sure to send all correspondence in e-mail to the netkit address.
     5         kx 	Postings to netnews or mailing lists will not be seen due to the 
     5         kx 	enormous volume. Also, anything that doesn't get filed in the bug
     5         kx 	database is quite likely to end up forgotten.
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Please don't report known bugs (see the BUGS file(s)) unless you
     5         kx 	are including fixes. :-)
     5         kx 
     5         kx 	Mail should be sent to: netbug@ftp.uk.linux.org
     5         kx 
     5         kx 
     5         kx Early in April 2000, a hacker broke into the machine that was hosting
     5         kx the netkit bug database for me and trashed it. Unfortunately, it seems
     5         kx backups hadn't gotten done for a while, so three months of mail (since
     5         kx mid-January) was lost. So, if you sent something and didn't hear back,
     5         kx or you sent something, heard back, but the changes failed to appear in
     5         kx this release (unlikely but possible) - please resend.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Please see http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html
     5         kx if you are curious why it was so long between the 0.10 and 0.16 releases.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Future plans for netkit maintenance are still up in the air, but in the
     5         kx meantime new releases will still appear from time to time. I don't have
     5         kx a whole lot of cycles to spare to work on netkit, so things are likely
     5         kx to continue to be fairly slow.
