Dear Pawel,
currently I'm trying to make some rcNG compatible startup scripts to=20
include ggated and ggatec in the boot process.
My idea was to extend rc.conf with these variables:
=2D-- /etc/defaults/rc.conf Tue Jul 19 03:01:17 2005
+++ rc.conf.new Tue Aug 9 19:42:52 2005

+
### Network Time Services options: ###
timed_enable=3D"NO" # Run the time daemon (or NO).
timed_flags=3D"" # Flags to timed (if enabled).
Now I, the big non-coder, have to write a parser for ggtab, which would be=
=20
a shell script inside /etc/rc.d/ggateclient.
Now I'd like to ask you if you plan to implement something like fstab=20
(ggtab) for ggatec, like ggated has with gg.exports. If so, it's nonsense=20
that I do the same with a shell script.
Here's the skeleton I planed for /etc/rc.d/ggateclient
#
# PROVIDE: ggateclient
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING root mountcritlocal cleanvar ggatedaemon
# KEYWORD: nojail
=2E /etc/rc.subr
name=3D"ggateclient"
stop_cmd=3D":"
start_cmd=3D"ggateclient_start"
ggateclient_start()
{
# Create ggate devices
#
echo -n 'Creating GEOM_GATE devices:'
ggatec create ${ggate_flags} ${gg.addr} ${gg.dev}
echo '.
Any hints for implementing ggtab the way I perhaps can do are welcome;=20
Actually what's a sensible way to read /etc/ggtab and check/assign values=20
for gg.addr and gg.dev?
Best regards,
=2DHarry
