rwhod distributes it's information on _every_ interface which is broadcastable. This includes loopback and eth0, and also sl0 and I suppose ppp0, too. So if you run rwhod you should start it before your link is up and before it notices that there are some more broadcastable interfaces Regards Joey -- / Martin Schulze * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 26129 Oldenburg / / This copy of Netscape has expired. -- Netscape / / Ein weiterer Grund Mosaic zu benutzen. :-( / -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
