Still plugging away with the network setup stuff... I was connecting via
telnet to the NetBSD machine (so I didn't have to keep running across the
room :) and on the occasions where I get a login failure the error
messages are clobbering the screen on my X display at the NetBSD machine.
I routinely start X with "startx &>/dev/null" which gets rid of most of the
glitches, but apparently somebody isn't playing fair with their diagnostic
output... inetd perhaps? Changing /etc/syslog.conf to redirect output and
trying the "-C" option on my xterm also failed to stem the flow. Anyway, I
thought this had already been addressed in the 1.3 distribution, but maybe
not...
The NetBSD machine:
Mac IIci
20MB RAM
Toby video
Asante MacCon Ethernet card
1GB hard drive partitioned 80MB HFS, 40MB swap, 100MB root, 750MB usr
NetBSD 1.3 w/SLOTMAN-MRG-SBC kernel#220
