O= ddly, or maybe not, I'm wanting to run dhcpd and tftpd on /net.alt instead o= f /net. Doing so highlights a subtle point that I've clearly missed in the w= hole namespace documentation and network configuration. ip/dhcpd -x /net.alt works perfectly well but ip/tftpd -x /net.alt will fail= unless you've got a custom /lib/namespace or /cfg/$sysname/namespace that i= ncludes something similar to the following: # alt networks bind -b '#l1' /net.alt bind -b '#I1' /net.alt mount -a /srv/cs_net.alt /net.alt mount -a /srv/dns_net.alt /net.alt There may a better way, but so far that's the only thing I've found to make t= ftpd work off of /net.alt. -jas
