This is the solution. In short, echo $PATH | grep /usr/lib/uml, and if needed man 3 execvp, could enlighten you... or even the fact that I do: # ls -l /usr/bin/uml_net -rws--x--x 1 root root 22856 16 feb 18:49 /usr/bin/uml_net if you want the full story, instead, IOW: Debian has his own very non-standard packaging for uml_utilities, and patches UML to cope with it. For instance, uml_switch has different defaults on UML (the socket goes into /var/run instead of /tmp, in UML). And (but this is the first time I hear this) you have uml_net in /usr/lib/uml rather than /usr/bin. Which would be a better choice, btw... but isn't implemented in mainline (we maybe should). > Another info: I used either the kernel.org sources and the debian's > linux-source(s). But you're using a vanilla UML without the forward ports of all 2.4 patches (you're using linux-source(s), not a possible uml-linux-source(s)). For the future packaging: I do believe that Debian's defaults have been actually planned while uml_utilities haven't, so I like the idea of switching to Debian paths as defaults, and possibly using the current ones as fallbacks. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
