Hi, the MAC address is changed by the startup script /etc/init.d/decnet. The Ethernet lookup service gives me: AA0004 DEC Local logical address for systems running Internet Assigned Numbers Authority AA0004 DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION IEEE Registration Authority
I don't know exactly why I have the package dnet-common in my system :(, loaded by some dependency probably. Looking on reverse dependencies I found chain dnet-common -> libdnet -> libroar1 -> libroar-compat1 -> quicktime-x11utils. but quicktime-x11utils is from multimedia repository. I think the default dnet-common configuration is a bug: bobek:~# debconf-show dnet-common dnet-common/nodename: linux dnet-common/nodeaddr: 1.10 * dnet-common/configure-action: skip and leave config as it is dnet-common/warning: bobek:~# cat /etc/default/decnet # DNET_INTERFACES specifies the names of ethernet interfaces whose # MAC address is to be set to the DECnet node address DNET_INTERFACES="all" # DNET_DAEMONS lists the daemons to start when dnet-progs is installed. # DNET_DAEMONS="dnetd phoned" dnroute_FLAGS="-v -2" # The following two lines enable routing, note that if you are # being a router, then add dnroute to the DNET_DAEMONS too #ROUTING=1 PRIORITY=32 bobek:~# We can reassign the bug against dnet-common package.
