Yes, IP as the sysname. Actually, calling ndb/cs before ipconfig has solved the problem (it is the way it is done in termrc). ndb/local has a line with ether and sys, so that local name is set from the MAC address, but the IP address is assigned via DHCP; I could not make my (FreeBSD) DHCP pass sysname to the Plan9 host. By the way, now dns is not working, whether before or after, but since it work with 9pcf, it is my fault somewhere. David
