OK. Another question (I'm still a newbie): From which init file is the network started on Hurd. The only init files related to the network I can find in /etc/init.d are networking and ifupdown (and ifupdown-clean). All seems to be Linux specific, e.g. networking calls /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown (and they are not functional on Hurd). I have not seen any script with a lina like: settrans -afg /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i -a -m -g anywhere (independent on if you have static or dhcp IP-address set in /etc/networking/interfaces or not). Where are these calls? The /etc/network/interfaces file seems to be parsed though during network setup!
