No. Again, as I said, it's simply when an application wants to use the network, i.e. call the usual libc socket() function, that glibc opens /servers/sockets/2, which thus triggers the pfinet translator configured there. It's the same for all /servers and /dev entries, as well as "mounted" filesystems. > and the parameters for the static parameters of the network (pi > address, netmask, gateway, etc) should be in some file.

Sure, you just seem to have forgotten to read the basic documentations about translators. Samuel
