As root do; cd /to/where/snull_load/file/is chmod a+x snull_load ./snull_load But you will still get some errors because local0 and local1 are not know on your system, either define them in /etc/hosts or edit snull_load and replace local0 and local1 with an internal IP# as in. ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 > local0: Host name lookup failure > ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. > local1: Host name lookup failure > ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. They are not defined in /etc/hosts. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] snull]$ snull_unload > sn0: unknown interface: No such device > sn1: unknown interface: No such device > snull: Operation not permitted Because the ifconfig line had an invalid host nothing gets configured. You can as root simply do; cd /to/snull/dir modprobe snull ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 up ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 up route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn0 route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn1 You can also place the snull modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net run depmod -a place the following in /etc/modules.conf alias sn0 snull alias sn1 snull Now if you use ifconfig to up the interface without loading the module first then it should get loaded automaticly altho, i have not tryed it here because i do not intend to use snX ifc's. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of thieves because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
