Using MASQ through the 486SX, I was getting almost immediate errors of the
following type
kernel: MASQ: failed TCP/UDP checksum
after ssh'ing in from home. This happened to me for the first three or
four sequential connects from home after updating the password. After
tiring if this, I added an mtu query in the process. I find that
apparently mtu=1500 is the CEBAF default. The addition of the line is
noted in the dip -t -v output stream fragment quoted below (-v, echo on)
>> print I think the mtu is $mtu <- print of $mtu local default
I think the mtu is 296 <- what is printed
>> get $mtu remote 3 <- try to get JLAB end value
About to set variable $mtu to 1500 <- response locally to query
>> print The maybe updated mtu is $mtu <- print updated value to see
The maybe updated mtu is 1500 <- what is printed
The addition of this line allowed me to get through handily. I may try
my hand at Arne's problem in the next day or so. The docs are so much fun
to read, you know.
I didn't have to do _this_ earlier. Maybe it is a consequence of the
masquerade process? I doubt it, and I expect to find it is either another
brain fade issue or some irreproducible coincidence. Sorry to have
bothered all of the rest of you. I hope it was worth at least something
for its entertainment value (as in, "Ho, ho, I sure am glad someone else
does that kind of thing, too").
