1. A Question:

When compiling the kernel with ip-forwarding enabled, i had to bring the
line

int encap = 0;

out of the #ifdef CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL area. Was this correct?

2. An Observation:

One time a "rsh" to the linux box hangs again until i "supported" it with
a "telnet" call to the linux box.

Here what in my /var/log/messages was:

Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 in.rlogind[100]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer
Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 rlogind[100]: Can't get peer name of remote host: Transport endpoint is not connected

And here what in /var/log/debug was:

Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 in.rlogind[100]: warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer
Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 in.rlogind[100]: connect from unknown
Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 in.telnetd[101]: connect from ES-sun2.fernuni-hagen.de
Oct 5 09:29:19 jfh00 rlogind[100]: Can't get peer name of remote host: Transport endpoint is not connected
Oct 5 09:29:26 jfh00 in.rlogind[103]: connect from ES-sun2.fernuni-hagen.de

After a reboot everything works ...,
maybe the rsh attempt came to early after the "Starting daemons: .."
message ...
