Hi, all i have a question about func as bellows /** * add_head - prepend a node to a list * @l: linked list * @n: list node * * add_head() takes a node @n and prepends it at the start of the list @l. */ LIST_INLINE void add_head(list *l, node *n) { node *z = l->head; n->next = z; n->prev = (node *) &l->head; z->prev = n; l->head = n; } isnt that we should change n->prev = (node *) &l->head to n->prev = (node *) &l->null

Is this func correct?

Hi, All Maybe i totally miss the point, is this func correct: int password_same(struct password_item *old, struct password_item *new) { if (old == new) return 1; if ((!old) || (!new)) return 0; return ((old->from == new->from) && (old->to == new->to) && (old->passive == new->passive) && password_same(old, new)); } or the last line should be return ((old->from == new->from) && (old->to == new->to) && (old->passive == new->passive) && password_same(old->next, new->next)); or compare old->password with new->password

Parse error with OSPF area stmt?
by James A. Crippen 06 Jan '01

06 Jan '01

I'm getting consistent parse errors from bird while trying to configure ospf. I say something akin to the following: protocol ospf { ... area 0.0.0.0 { ... }; } And I've tried variations like "area 0 {" and "area {", but no luck with anything. I always get a parse error from bird on that particular line. I took a halfhearted look at the source and couldn't find anything in particular. Help! And yes, I know that areas are somewhat borken, that you can't use more than one. I'm not trying to, I'm just trying to follow the documentation which says to list an area section and put my chosen interfaces inside of it. Thanks 'james -- James A.

OSPF "bad hello packet"
by James A. Crippen 06 Jan '01

06 Jan '01

I'm getting "bad hello packet from 10.1.1.23 received: bad netmask 255.255.255.0" even though there's really nothing wrong with this netmask (I'm using 10.1.1.0/24 and 10.2.2.0/24 for some testing). Is there any reason why ospf thinks this is a bad netmask? Should I just ignore it? Thanks! 'james -- James A. Crippen <james(a)unlambda.com> ,-./-.

Is this a typo
by Zheng Yuan {ZYUAN1} 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Line 64 in CLI.c if (!(o = c->tx_write) || o->wpos + size > o->end) isnt that should be if (!(o == c->tx_write) || o->wpos + size > o->end) BTW, is there anyone who is also interested in studying the source code? I would be very interested if we could form a study group or something else? Thanx!

Stop forking
by James A. Crippen 02 Jan '01

Where should I look to find the code that forks bird into the background on startup? I don't want it to fork. Instead I want to fork it into the background myself from another program.

Not exactly sure what to expect though, and I haven't had the time to examine the source closely for what I want. Right now I'm having problems with RIP, but I'm betting that it's my fault and I've misconfigured things again. Maybe I should actually sit down and RTFM... :) If I do find what I want and need to hack on the code I'll be sure to send a patch to the list. 'james -- James A.
