Martin,

I think even if you have a fixed LAN IP, you should include it.

Hello Kin (and group, especially Dirk), thanks for all the hard work you do.

I was slightly surprised and disappointed to see that my GB7DXC-5 node
(running build 568) had for the first time appeared in your list of 'naughty
nodes', but I believe I have now taken the steps necessary to correct the
problem.

>From the sysop console I've just done the two 'set/var' commands, as per the
message from Dirk on 20th March, to set $main::localhost_alias_ipv4 and
@main::localhost_names and I've added the two commands into the startup
script.

I haven't yet done the set/var command for localhost_alias_ipv6 because I
don't yet know what the IPv6 address is for the Raspberry Pi that's hosting
the node, and I'm not currently using IPv6 on my LAN.

I haven't bothered adding Kin's 'update_ip' utility into my crontab because
I've got a static Internet IP address and the internal IP address of the
R-Pi on my LAN is also fixed.

73,
