It used to be set by scripts but we can probably make the hurd postinst create them, yes. But is the hurd postinst actually run in your case? > > > /usr/libexec/runsystem.hurd: line 129: /usr/libexec/rc: No such file > > > > Not sure how your system looks like exactly.

Yes, I don't see why it's not doing that, isn't the alternative like this?

Yes, clearly (though we have already been providing hurd qemu images for a long time without that many people actually using the recommended qemu-based way to start them...) > I'm probably missing more customizations to make this work.

There shouldn't be much more left than the /servers/socket/1 piece. Samuel
