[uml-user] Re: slirp is broken

2005-02-02 Thread Nir Tzachar
hi. I was using slirp to give network access for students, working on uml. i did not want to assign any ip addresses to the uml instances, as the address space is not under my control, and i dont have root access to the machines student work on. So, slirp was my default choice. However, i doesn't

Hello! I've got strange problems with uml.. host is 2.6.10-ac11-skas3-v7, guest is 2.6.9-bb6 (sadly latest snapshost like 2.6.11-rc2-bkX does NOT compile...) when sshing to the guest, the sshd process segfaults when using authentication from pam, but it is completely ok, when authenticating with
