Hello everyone!

I compiled 2.1.120 and installed it today.

I use pgcc 1.1a to compile, with the standard CFLAGS plus -mamdk6.

There seems to be a problem with joliet CDs (at least Level 1) , I can
mount it and dmesg tells me that it is a joliet disc but when trying to
access (cp or whatever) a file it says the file isn't there although it is
listed by "ls". cp -R /cdrom/directory / tells me that the files within
the directory doesn't exist, the directory is copied though..

This is 100% reproducable with Joliet Level 1 CDs, Level 3 works fine
(dunno about anyother levels..)

This worked with 2.1.119 which also was compiled with pgcc 1.1a.

*I won't cut'n'paste anything since that could be used against me =)*

About IP masquerade...
I get lots of questions about this. Everyone using masq gets these tcp
checksum errors (in dmesg or whereever). I believe these checksum error
cause a rather huge slowdown upon the interface that is masqueraded.
I can't really guarantee the slowdown but I see no other rason why it
should slowdown.

Q: Will/Can this problem be fixed? If so, anyone working on it or planning
to work on it?

I know this question has been on the list before but I can't remember
I ever saw a concrete answer..

Thanks in advance and don't be afraid to ask questions about my setup or
send patches for me to try out in these areas..
