DISCUSSION

    We have received several reports of the AWS95 systems not being seen by some clients on the network.

    This behavior has been linked to a problem with the way the AMT's are managed (AMT = Address Mapping Table). The AWS 95 is replying to the correct AppleTalk address when an NBP LookUp is received but with the wrong Ethernet address. In order to resolve this problem the elap kernel module has been modified.

    The enclosed elap file is a replacement for the elap kernel module in A/UX 3.0.2.

    This module HAS NOT BEEN TESTED with other A/UX versions.

    To install this file

    Move the file /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap to a safe place so that you can put it back in case of any problems.

    mkdir /safe
    mv /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap /safe

    Remove the file /etc/boot.d/elap

    rm /etc/boot.d/elap

    Put the enclosed elap file in the directory /etc/install.d/boot.d

    Change ownership and access priviledges on the file /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap

    chown bin /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap
    chgrp bin /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap
    chmod 640 /etc/install.d/boot.d/elap

    Copy the /unix file

    cp /unix /unix.save

    Create a new kernel that includes this module

    newconfig appletalk

    Reboot the system
