ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1
a) tcpdump (tcpdump version 3.4a6 libpcap version 0.4a6) doesn't see
packets on eth1 when I use the '-i eth1' switch. I can ping the
other host, but I cannot see the traffic as it goes.
b) sendmail refuses to start properly when the eth1 device is
initialized. In strace, I can see it is talking to the name
server. Removing bind from hosts.conf lets it start.
c) Aliasing has some oddities. I was using an alias eth0:0 for this
network, but the routing table shows the base device and not the
alias.
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.2.1
route
...
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
...
I checked all of the packages mentioned in Changes and find them all
up to date or better. Though, I intend to do more work in this
tonight to see if I can find the causes of these problems, I thought
it might be good to mention these things in case there is either a) a
network driver bug, or b) some userland software conflict not
mentioned in Changes.
