How do I correct this?

How do I correct this?

[Chuck Hast]

When my machine boots up, I get this message
kissparms uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
I understand that it is not really a problem, but it looks ugly, do I
need to change
the format in which the data is sent to kissparms?

You could try directing messages to /dev/null.  For instance:

<program-name> 2>&1 >/dev/null

This directs stderr to stdout and the whole thing to /dev/null, which
is bascially a black hole.  No messages should appear unless there is
a call to do direct IO to the screen (which I wold imagine is not done
in this case).

You will need to edit the rc file (/etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d depending
on your linux flavor) and add the redirect there.

Good luck.

I would rather fix it if possible then just hide it. If there is a fix
I will try to do
so, if not I will just disregard it.

Thank you for the info. I had thought about doing something like that but
really wanted to correct it.

The ax.25 tools use networking functions from the kernel that are
pretty much obsolete.  That's what is generating this message.  If
you're knowledgeable about coding, it might be possible to dig into
the tools source code and fix the issue, but not really worth it.  The
message is harmless, and in fact, the directing of data to /dev/null
as previously suggested will  not do any good, as the message is
coming from the kernel, not the program.

I believe the latest version of the ax.25 software fixes this
problem, or maybe it was only fixed in CVS. If so, I'll look at
making a new tarball release.

Okay, it looks like there are some related updates in ax25-tools that
have not been made into a release. I will plan on doing a release.

Looking forward to it. Will check it out as soon as it is released.
