Can't give any response, but I was hit by the bug Alex talks about
during upgrade. My box ran out of swap while compiling xf86scanpci.c
with -O2 (inspiron 4150, 512MB ram, 512MB swap, 07-05-27 -current)

It would be really nice to be able to play in the iscsi field. It seems

Very appealing goals, if only I were a decent coder...

Ok, not really annoying, Manuel Bouyer is working on domain0 support for
NetBSD, so I won't have to install some linux on the box ;)

As my girlfriend would like me to keep the bare minimum number of
machines here, Xen is the way to run Net/Free/DFly and maybe some
dreadful Debian on a single amd64 machine.

Regarding this kind of setup, do you know if Xen could support amd64 in
domain0 and mix amd64/ia32 kernels/userlands in other domains ?

Regards.

More and more shops have Active Directory domains and windows boxes,
Kerberos support is something important in these shops.

So tune your system for your own use and refrain telling others how
they should work.

DSL connectivity & ISDN backup

[Eric Masson]

Hello,

Feel Free to redirect if -hackers isn't the most appropriate list.

I'll soon get a DSL line for Internet connectivity but as stated in the
following papers (Thanks to Ted Mittlestaedt), DSL hasn't been designed
as a fully reliable media.
http://www.computerbits.com/archive/2001/0200/network0102.html
http://www.computerbits.com/archive/2001/0300/middlestaedt0103.html

Ted shows a way to add reliability by backing up DSL line via ppp(8)
http://www.computerbits.com/archive/2001/0400/mittelstaedt0104.html
http://www.computerbits.com/archive/2001/0500/mittelstaedt0501.html

The exposed method has one major drawback, the need for the isp to
create a special configuration for your use and I don't know if the isp
we've chosen will do that.

Another one is more specific to France where most of the usual DSL
ethernet TAs only support pppoe, thus making ppp(8) mandatory for the
DSL connectivity. So you do not have any arp entry for the address the
isp assigned to you.

How is it possible in this case to detect DSL line failure and then
change default route to use the backup ppp(8) dialup configuration ?

Any idea ?

It would be nice to see this kind of setup handled by ppp(8) via a new
keyword like  which parameter would be the configuration to use
for backup.

Thanks in advance
