I noticed an error in the HOWTO (which I saw by reading this list has affected at least one other person). In the GRE section of the ADV Routing HOWTO the commands are listed as: ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 172.19.20.21 local 172.16.17.18 ttl 255 ip addr add 10.0.1.1 dev netb ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 dev netb when they should be: ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 172.19.20.21 local 172.16.17.18 ttl 255 ip link set netb up ip addr add 10.0.1.1 dev netb ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 dev netb (and obviously the same applies to the neta section) I was fortunate enough to figure this out on my own, but some people may not be so lucky. Hopefully the maintainers of the HOWTO will add this correction to the next release of the HOWTO if they get a spare second in between the millions of other things that they surely have going on. Regardless, I would still like to thank the maintainers of the HOWTO for a fine document. It was, and still is, incredibly helpful to those of us who love linux, but don''t have a clue about programming... :) Thanks, Ron Brinker EMC Computers service@emcis.com
