The packets sent by the 4.2 system now has some sort of version info (check the rwhod.h file for the structure definition). The 4.2 rwhod also flushes all incoming packets that don't have the correct version (all other non-4.2 systems). the other major problem I had was getting it to find the IFF_BROADCAST bits in the interface flags. It turned out that /etc/ifconfig was zeroing the flags word instead of oring them. You might also check your ethernet driver (if_il.c or if_ec.c or ?) to make sure that those flags are actually set. I sent out the fixes I made to /etc/ifconfig to unix-wizards over two months ago. My pet flame about rwhod is that it checks for isalnum in the host name. Our host names have a dash in them so I had to change it to isprint.
