After the installation and configuration i can start ipx-utils with the command "/etc/init.d/ipx start" without problems. But when i try to stop ipx with the command "/etc/init.d/ipx stop" i get the message: * Bringing IPX down... /sbin/ipx_interface: Unable to open "/proc/net/ipx_interface." * Failed to down IPX [ !! ] The message is understandable, cause the ipx_interface file is in the /proc/net/ipx/ directory and not in /proc/net/. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/ipx start 2./etc/init.d/ipx stop 3. Actual Results: * Bringing IPX down... /sbin/ipx_interface: Unable to open "/proc/net/ipx_interface." * Failed to down IPX [ !! ] Expected Results: IPX should shutdown smoothly.

not a bug in the init script
fixed in 1.1-r1
Hello, sorry for the long time that it takes befor i tested the new version. Thanks for it ... but: I still have the same problem. But it's understandable, because the interface file called "/proc/net/ipx/interface" and not "/proc/net/ipx/ipx_interface" which is used in the proc patch: root@gilgamesh # cat /usr/portage/net-misc/ipx-utils/files/ipx-utils-1.1-proc.patch --- ipx-1.1/ipx_interface.c.orig 2004-10-16 13:14:40.677964152 -0400 +++ ipx-1.1/ipx_interface.c 2004-10-16 13:15:18.464219768 -0400 @@ -191,7 +191,9 @@ exit(-1); } - fp = fopen("/proc/net/ipx_interface", "r"); + fp = fopen("/proc/net/ipx/ipx_interface", "r"); + if (fp == NULL) + fp = fopen("/proc/net/ipx_interface", "r"); if (fp == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "%s: Unable to open \"/proc/net/ipx_interface.\"\n", root@gilgamesh # ls -lah /proc/net/ipx/ insgesamt 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 21.
