>Number: 292 >Category: misc >Synopsis: rfc1323 and rfc1644 support can confuse terminal servers w/SLIP >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Apr 1 15:30:01 1995 >Originator: gibbs >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386 >Environment: SLIP connection to an annex (and possibly other) terminal server. VJ header compression might be a factor. >Description: rfc1323 and rfc1644 negotiation can make TCP communication to other FreeBSD machines on the other side of a SLIP link impossible. This is not a FreeBSD bug, but a bug in many terminal servers. During install, I would highly recommend that these two commands be run before any type of network installation: sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 It would not look good to not be able to ftp the distribution from one of our own machines. There should also be a big warning about this in the install notes and possibly even during installation. >How-To-Repeat: If you want to see it in action, just let me know, and I'll turn rfc1323 and rfc1644 negotiation back on for narnia.hip.berkeley.edu. >Fix: Make the install program disable these features during network installations. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
