Thanks. Mr. Uchiyama also commented to me the same thing. To modify configuration such as address/netmask/gateway, fsysopts is enough. I'm implementing ifconfig in such a way. >You are right in that there will still need to be statistic-requesting >RPCs, even if basic configuration parameters are set using settrans >and fsysopts. Yes, I try to write ifconfig as a simple shell script which calls fsysopts but I fail... For example ifconfig -a show's all interface's information but I can't get enough interface information by fsysopts/settrans like method. I think it'll still need some kind of RPCs... >If you don't understand what I mean by the above paragraph, we can >talk about it more on bug-hurd. This message is cross posting to bug-hurd.
