[Linux-decnet-user] Binary file copy problems with 2.4 kernel

[Paul S. <psh...@st...>]

I'm having lots of trouble copying some binary files from a Linux system
using a 2.4.0 kernel. dncopy seems to hang for no obvious reason, and
copying from the VMS end using 'fal ag' doesn't work either. The files copy
without problems from another box running a patched 2.2.13 kernel.

Admittedly these files are pretty strange (in fact they're RMS indexed
files complete with all the indexing stuff etc.) but they're just data when
all's said and done.

As I'm obviously using an unpatched kernel, I built dnprogs using the dn.h
that came with it ('make please'). I suspect this wasn't the right thing to
do - any suggestions?

Apart from this, are there any known problems using 2.4 kernels?

TIA, Paul
