Hi,
How do you configure network in 36BSD?
I already created the file /etc/myname with my chosen name.
I edit the /etc/netstart file by:
(1) Uncomment named/mountd/nfsd=YES line.
(2) Uncomment ifconfig ec0 myname ...
(3) Add route add default <gateway ip address>.
(4) Add my host ip address & host name.Domain name in /etc/hosts
But there is no reslov to pass domain name queries to my domain name
server,the /etc/resolv.conf. And there is no /etc/named.ca, /etc/named.db,
/etc/named.init for named (even netstart has a named=YES line). When I do
nslookup, it uses its own name as the domain name sever, assign its ip
address of 0.0.0.0.
How do you assign the machine an ip address? Get resolv working, or may
be named too. Where I can get the doc's for it?
Thank You.
