Explanation of the bug: when processing its first request, rarpd opens a routing socket to send requests to the arp table. It keeps that socket open afterwards, while waiting for new RARP requests. Meanwhile, the data received on the routing socket fill up until they are about 8Kbytes in size. Any additional data is lost. When rarpd receives its next RARP request, it tries to access the ARP table via a routing socket call, then waits for the answer to its own request. This answer is lost because the received data is already filled: when looking for the reply, rarpd receives only 8kbytes worth of data, then loops waiting forever. Someone please test it on -STABLE and commit it. We can close the PR when testing on STABLE is done. PR: bin/5669 Submitted by: Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.10 1997/02/23 09:18:39 peter Exp $ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel and the contents of /etc. Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
