I spent the whole night searching through the archives. All I get is: rc: null list in concatenation What can I possibly be doing wrong?? I do have afew unclear spots in the manual. 1) do I do disk/kfscmd 'create etc......." for bootes ( because I did) 2) should this be done on the first start up (boot up ) of plan as Glenda? 3) should I set up the network first then reboot as Glenda again to set up auth? 4) is it : facedom=FACEDOM for (i in '#m' '#i' '#s' '#t' ) also is it ' or ` bind -a $i /dev ./dev/null >[2]/dev/null 5) exactly where do I put: auth=authserver ntp=ntpserver is it in /lib/ndb or /lib//ndb/local? 6) I can't remove authsrv.il566 or authsrv.tcp567 cause I don't have em in my /rc/bin/service.auth 7) when do I exactly set bootes password? 8) Do I have to do this in order for me to beable to work / telnet/ ftp into the Plan 9 box from a linux box ( I got the plan 9 box in the basement and everyday use pc so happens to be upstairs, I get tired going up and down LoL) Thanks in advance!!
