Well it worked for about 3 logons. It's borked again.

Too bad nobody is maintaining the Linux DECNET packages anymore.

Yeah   the module doesn't build on newer kernels, iirc. I tried. ;)

Actually, it does, but procfs and sysfs or whatever have changed too much for it to be configured.

Define "newer"?   It runs fine on 3.20.

Well I /was/ running Scientific Linux, so that could explain it. ;)


Someone really needs to pick it up and continue its maintenance.   I'd
do it if I had some time and knew the protocols better.   There really is
a need.

Yeah, maybe i'll bother some friends with protocol documentation and see if they're interested in picking it up.   They probably wouldn't be interested though. :(
