As I said, FreeBSD's resolver really didn't like the Linux version of the
file,
which is in base-files.
OK. i'm fairly sure this won't affect the netbsd port cuz
it won't be used at all as far as i can tell...
It's kind of an alternative to nsswitch.conf. I'm not sure why it exists...
It looks like this on FreeBSD:
skaro:/skaro# cat /etc/host.conf
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $
# First try the /etc/hosts file

# Now try the nameserver next.

Modified now that Matthew's pointed out that RB_POWERDOWN exists.
(btw, "halt -p" and "shutdown -p" access this from the NetBSD userland.)

I plan to just replace ifconfig. The major headache is ifupdown. FYI, watch
out
for /etc/host.conf. The Linux version badly broke FreeBSD's resolver.
what is host.conf? don't think netbsd uses it.
Hmm. Not sure what's going on with Fakeroot there. It worked ok on FreeBSD. If
you get it working, please send me a patch. I'll merge it, and we can try to
get support for both archs merged in upstream.

I now have a self-hosting Debian NetBSD system. The patch to sysvinit
seems to have worked wonderfully, though several boot scripts are not
entirely happy due to commands having different semantics. Networking

FreeBSD's libc already has getopt, since it has been in BSD libc for
over 16 years. But getopt_long is another matter.

Ok, here are patches for sysvinit and fakeroot. Fakeroot I've actually been
able to test, and it appears to work. sysvinit is waiting on me to finish
making my new (cleaner) chroot, and put on another box, so I can try booting.

You're right, that's a very good document. He's apparently been thinking along

I'm working on a package to do this for FreeBSD. At the moment, it works great
when I build it on FreeBSD, and I'm still trying to get

Markus Brinkmanm (of HURD fame) has written this

which is mandatory reading for us.
they (the hurd people) are very interested in working closely
together with us, simply since we together might have enough
weight to make debian make more archit
This is what we have on the website:
