I have it working, but there are problems. The most serious are that the DNS domain name is set wrongly, and NIS domain's not set at all. The IP address offered and accepted in 192.168.1.20. The DNS domain name being set is 168.1.20, and the host name 192. I'm looking at the ipconfig.c source, around line 1324 where I see this code: case 4: if ((dp = strchr(ip, '.'))) { *dp++ = '\0'; strncpy(system_utsname.domainname, dp, __NEW_UTS_LEN); system_utsname.domainname[__NEW_UTS_LEN] = '\0'; } strncpy(system_utsname.nodename, ip, __NEW_UTS_LEN); system_utsname.nodename[__NEW_UTS_LEN] = '\0'; ic_host_name_set = 1; break; I can see how the dnsdomain name's being set, and it does not look right to me. If someone can prepare a patch for me, I'll be delighted to test it. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
