This is done using the `settrans` command to attach a -translator to a given file system node. When programs access the node by, for -example, sending an RPC, the Hurd will transparently start the server to handle -the request. - - # settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 \ - -a 192.168.0.50 -g 192.168.0.1 -m 255.255.255.0 - -Here, `settrans` is passed several options: - -* `fg`, force any existing translator to go away. -* `ap`, make both active and passive translators. - -The active translator means that the operating system both starts the -translator immediately and passinve means that the settings are saved in the -file system node. The former also means that any error messages are sent to -`stderr`. - -The argument `/server/socket/2` is the node that the translator is to be -attached to. This is followed by the translator program to run and any -arguments to give it. - -`-a`, `-g` and `-m` are, quite obviously, the IP address, the gateway and -netmask. - -Help on settrans can be obtained by passing it the `--help` option. Help on a -specific translator can be gotten by invoking it from the command line with the -same argument, e.g.: - - # /hurd/pfinet --help - -As there can be a lot of output, consider piping this through a pager. - -Finally copy over your `/etc/resolv.conf` from GNU/Linux to allow your DNS to -resolve correctly. |
