ipoib_ping.pl<BR>The README.txt in the top level of the source directory seems
to be out-dated.e.g.<BR>a) vstat<BR>The readme refers to vstat and the outputs
printed by it. I think the vstat has been replaced by ibstat which has a
slightly different outputs. e.g. vstat prints "1 HCA found:"whereas ibstat
prints "CA 'mthca0'"<BR>b) ipoib_ping.pl<BR>This script doesn't seem to be there
in rc3 or maybe it has been renamed to something else which I haven't been able
to locate.<BR>c)miscellaneous<BR>There are other instances which need to be
weeded out e.g. /etc/init.d/ibadmd, /etc/ibadm.topo, etc.</FONT></DIV>
