I am trying to get THNX ready for IWP9 and I have a problem I don't
understand. Almost everything works on the net save dns. In fact I am
drawterm'ed into it across the net from another box, that's how I got
the text from below.
I am bringing up the Plan 9 guest and it is succeeding at DHCP. The
router/dns/DHCP box is at 192.168.18.10.
Here is my iproute
cpu% cat /net/iproute
0.0.0.0 /96 192.168.18.10 4 none -
192.168.18.0 /120 192.168.18.0 4i ifc 1
192.168.18.0 /128 192.168.18.0 4b ifc -
192.168.18.190 /128 192.168.18.190 4u ifc 1
192.168.18.255 /128 192.168.18.255 4b ifc -
127.0.0.0 /128 127.0.0.0 4b ifc -
127.0.0.1 /128 127.0.0.1 4ip ifc 0
127.255.255.255 /128 127.255.255.255 4b ifc -
255.255.255.255 /128 255.255.255.255 4b ifc 1
cpu%
and /net/ndb:
cpu% cat /net/ndb
ip=192.168.18.190 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipgw=192.168.18.10
dns=192.168.18.10
dns=146.246.250.1
cpu%
BUT: /lib/ndb/local is this:
ipnet=lguestnet ip=192.168.19.0 netmask=255.255.255.0 ipgw=192.168.19.1
proto=tcp cpu=lguest fs=lguest auth=lguest authdom=lguestdom
dns=192.168.19.1
sys=lguest ip=192.168.19.2 dom=lguest authdom=lguest auth=lguest
The problem: no DNS. Snooping from the linux and plan 9 side shows no
packets go to 192.168.18.10 for dns requests. Is the /lib/ndb/local
misdirecting dns somehow? I hate to yank the /lib/ndb/local, however,
as it is useful when the plan 9 guest is running in NAT as opposed to
BRIDGE mode.
The cpurc is this:
ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether0
date > /env/boottime
# replace FILESERVER with the name of your file server
# here we start with kfs, your local disk file system
fileserver=kfs
# replace FACEDOM with the local domain to be used in the faces database
facedom=FACEDOM
# mount points
mntgen -s slashn && chmod 666 /srv/slashn
# name translation, cs sets /dev/sysname
ndb/cs
sysname=`{cat /dev/sysname}
ndb/dns -r
and the sysname is this:
cpu% cat /dev/sysname
192.168.18.190cpu%
I am not sure I see what's up. I can't run acid on this (one of the
issues with the lguest port still :-)
dnsdebug just sits there and appears to time out.
any help greatly appreciated.
thanks
ron
