Ok, I was poking thru the kernel because I get a lot of ICMP redirects.
Now, I know getting one means to fix your routes. However, to much
information is thrown away. All that gets sysloged is the host that sent
it! I tried a quickie patch to display some of the other fields but now
ICMP's just oops my kernel, so I screwed something up. If someone could
write a one-liner and send it to me I'd appreciate it. I don't know
enough about ICMP fields to write it well, and the development time
is killer (since I am supposed to be working on other things... grr.)
Jobs arn't fun when they conflict with work I want to do.
Oh yea, how would I get ICMP info out of the kernel? I didn't see it in
the /proc filesystem, and I don't know of any tools that do it.
