Wollman" To: uhclem@fw.ast.com Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: misc/796: Network install incomplete in 1026-SNAP FDIV036 Date: Sun, 29 Oct 1995 13:20:01 -0500 < The problem appears to be that the installation process enabled networking, > but did not use the information gathered during the installation to create > an entry for /etc/hosts. By adding: > 165.164.6.19 skaro.lonestar.org skaro Actually, the bug appears to be in putting symbolic addresses in `ifconfig' commands. It is incorrect to do this. The installation process should never create `/etc/hosts'. > The source of the "bad value" error also needs to be investigated. > This message is displayed but does not appear in /var/log/messages. Of course it doesn't appear in /var/log/messages, it's written by the `ifconfig' program to standard error output long before `syslogd' is ever started. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
