- Hi:
-
- As the subject says I need in settingup tcpip in Linux. Wait, I read the
- networking faq already. But it seems to address mainly folks with ehternet
- card, not those who want to try loopback stuff for fun. So here are my
- questions. But first the setup:
-
- My current setup is
-
- Linux 0.99
- hostname: lata.utdallas.edu
- config loopback $IPADDR (which is 129.110.21.2 - eventually I will be on
- SLIP with this address)
- config loopback 127.0.0.1
- inetd fired at bootup
- rshd in /usr/etc/inet
-
- Ok, the questions.
-
- 1) Do I need to set up a name server to do loopback stuff.
- 2) While starting, named complains about not being able to get to the root
- server. Can I make my named an independent server?
- 3) inetd does not seem to start rshd. why? (unless it happens very fast that
- my "ps -a|grep rshd" is unable to detect it.)
- 4) "rsh lata ls" just sits for a while and quits. why?
