I had earlier reported it incorrectly, saying I first saw the problem in 2.5.67-mm3, but going back to verify, I see that 2.5.67-mm1 is OK while 2.5.67-mm2 through -mm4 are broken. I noticed that rwhod is OK in 2.5.67 + linux patchset 1.1177, but adding the sk-allocation patch (from -mm2) breaks rwhod. The symptom here is that running the "ruptime" command on an -mm2 box shows all hosts down - however the other hosts on the subnet are getting the rwho broadcasts from the -mm2 box, but the -mm2 box is unable to process rwho broadcasts, including it's own - I'd hoped I could narrow it down to that patch, but backing out that single patch does not fix -mm2 through -mm4, so it appears that while the one patch will break rwhod, there are apparently other changes that also break rwhod independently of the sk-allocation patch, and the answer is more involved than I'd hoped. I've been hammered at work lately so time is limited, but I did want to raise the rwhod issue again - if I get some time I'll check the plain -bk tree, or if someone has any ideas I'll be happy to act as a patch & test monkey in my spare time. Best Regards, Joe
