I set up INETADDR and HOSTNAME in /etc/hostconfig per the online 0.9 release notes. In addtion, I removed the machines/broadcasthost entry from the netinfo database as the instructions indicated. When the machine boots, I get several nasty messages from /usr/etc/nmserver (which calles itself netmsgserver once it is started). Anyone have some ideas about what I missed in the setup that might cause the following? Jun 6 11:10:20 localhost netmsgserver[53]: Cannot get the socket broadcast address: errno=22 Jun 6 11:10:20 localhost netmsgserver[53]: Warning: could not find a useful broadcast address, using the CMU default. Jun 6 11:10:20 localhost netmsgserver[53]: Broadcast address: 0x80020000 Jun 6 11:10:21 localhost netmsgserver[53]: Network Server initialised.
