I am still having a couple problems, found some bugs, etc..
1) Using NE/2000 cards, I seem to get lockups when NFS mounting the other
file system. Once in a while it works okay. Maybe outdated software,
so I am recompiling the entire current tree as of this yesterday morning
sup.
2) Doing a "MAKEDEV all" in /dev as a normal user will quite nicely KILL
your system. You can no longer login as ANYBODY, and the system will
no longer boot. You MUST boot from a floppy and pray...
3) Still having a problem with the Mitsumi CD-Rom driver getting the
"Xmcd0 undefined" error when linking the kernel. It looks like I might
have to kill a couple hours tracking this one down myself, since nobody
else is having the problem. If someone that is running current with
the mitsumi CD-Rom drive could send me their kernel config file, I'd
appreciate it.
4) What is the best way to have multiple machines share the same password
file? I don't have any Suns on the network, they are all NetBSD machines.
Is there a PD "yp" implementation or "NIS" implementation available?
Should I just "rcp" the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files every night?
Should I NFS mount the /etc/passwd file?
5) Still having a problem with using machine A as a gateway to the internet.
Scenario:
Machine A: Machine B:
486/40 VLB 386/33
16 MB RAM 4 MB RAM
Slip to Inet
NE/2000 Ether NE/2000 Ether
I want to be able to telnet directly from machine B to a host on the
internet. I haven't tried gated yet, in fear of the setup. If someone
has any idea, or help they can offer with the configuration, that'd be
great.
