snippet of the problem:
Setting this up isn't hard at all. It always is placed in/servers/socket/2
, because that's where glibc will look for it. So be sure to install it this way:settrans /servers/socket/1 /hurd/pfinet --interface=eth0 OPTIONS
, whereOPTIONS
specify your IP address, netmask and the gateway (if any). Only one network interface is supported currently. Later, you can also set further interfaces likeeth1
and so on with the same command.
Be careful, I think that /servers/socket/1 is the "auth" server so don't kill it or your system will be severely brain dead.
I ran into this myself. I think that "2" is the correct one to use. So I believe this is what one does:
# settrans -g /servers/socket/2
# settrans /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet --interface=eth0 --address=192.168. 123.456 -netmask=255.255.255.0
And of course add your gateway if you use a router or cable modem or something. The above would be
well suited to a small network running on an ether hub or switch. My Hurd is temporarily unbootable due to
to a scsi card switch so I'm going from memory here.

If anyone has any "heads-up", thanks.
