+README for the ipip encapsulation daemon as distributed by Bdale Garbee, KB0G.
This is a derivation of Mike Westerhof's ipip daemon for Unix machines. Mike
provided code that worked for SunOS, I ported the daemon to HP-UX and BSD/OS,
and Ron Atkinson N8FOW and John Paul Morrison provided the tweaks for Linux.
-I am once again actively maintaining the ipip package, and as a Debian
-GNU/Linux maintainer, that's the platform I'm doing the work on. The BSD
-support should mostly still work, but is untested by me in recent times. It
-should be trivial to unpack and build these sources on non-Debian Linux
-systems, and not hard on any system with BSD-style sockets.
+As a Debian developer, whatever activity there is on maintaing this package
+is now in the context of the Debian package. The BSD support should mostly
+still work, but I haven't tested it in years. It should be trivial to unpack
+and build these sources on non-Debian Linux systems, and not hard on any
+system with BSD-style sockets.
To build the daemon:
# you've obviously already unpacked the source distribution. On BSD
- # systems, I like to part it in /usr/src/local/ipip, and augment the
+ # systems, I like to park it in /usr/src/local/ipip, and augment the
# Makefiles so that the daemon becomes part of the normal full build.
# make a copy of the correct Makefile, I like to symlink them and use
config file, which defines interfaces, and a routes file, which sets
up the routing table. The 'bdale' subdirectory has a couple of
example configs, one very old one from Mike, one that represents
- almost what Bdale runs today. The 'n8fow' subdirectory has Ron's
+ what Bdale ran for some years. The 'n8fow' subdirectory has Ron's
config files, which are perhaps more appropriate for Linux users. I
suggest you troll it all, though, and see what's there.
