Otherwise (or, in addition?), I would have to file bug reports to, e.g., CentOS, for them to update their distributions. I can refer CentOS to http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg226123.html for that. In the mean time, do I have your permission Eric to post your patches to the Linux DECnet web site? Of course. The patch is covered under the GPL license which gives anyone the right to redistribute it. Eric
