Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 19:18:05 -0600 From: "Richard E. Hawkins" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I seem to have this most of the way there. ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" in rc.conf did most of it--once I cvsuppped and madeworld for 3.3 (I'd been at 3.2). The only thing that isn't working is the hostname--xauth seems to be aware of the name that its been assigned, but HOST doesn't hold this, DISPLAY is merely :0.0, and insufficient info gets passed through ssh to access the display (for example, "ssh localhost -ltoor" generates the messages /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name ":10.0" in "add" command /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name "/unix:10.0" in "add" command I have to manually set DISPLAY to include the hostname at the other end, then cut & paste the cookie. I used the new options in /stand/sysinstall to give the name eyry (the system's old name) after telling it to use DHCP. THis caused the system to know who it was, but this specification of name causes dhclient to fail. rick -- Prof. Richard E.
