Hi,

I have a pair of openbsd amd64 3.8+ boxes with a few shared carp 
interfaces. They were playing perfectly together until today. I upgraded 
one to the 20-03-06 snapshot ( the other is still at circa. 18-12-2005). 
Now both the boxes claim to be carp MASTERs, with obvious consequences.


net.inet.carp.log=1 or tcpdump don't show any problems though.

/plus39.html lists 2 carp fixes. The first releates to HMAC calc, so I 
disabled the carp password, without any effect. The other fix relates to 
a 'short' incorrect MASTER status at boot - where as mine seems to 
persist indefinitely.


Is this an incompatability between o/s versions, or just a passing 
-current hiccup ?


There is/was an issue between the two version:

Look to me that you run a snapshot that still have the issue in it, your 
 18-12-2005 one. I would upgrade that one to first as I know there was 
a problem then I point it out and that got fix quickly as well.
