[uml-user] Re: Ping -R byte order

[Paul F. <pf...@ta...>]

I've done another experiment.
I've used the text ethereal program (tethereal) to capture packets on 
both the host and the uml node.

I've looked in the Record Record fields of the IP packet.  On both the 
host and the uml node the IP addresses are recorded correctly.

This tells me that the packets are correctly formatted by UML and also 
correctly interrupted by tethereal (running on both UML and host).

However when it comes to displaying the Route Record information the UML 
ping program displays it incorrectly.

... oh ... hold on ...
Ah - The version of ping in the root_fs_slack8.1.bz2 root filesystem is 
at fault.

When I copy that version of ping to the host it continues to malfunction.

So the answer is the Slackware 8.1 ping program was at fault.  UML is 
functioning correctly.  Sorry for the red herring.
