pfinet: malformed address

[Ulrich Grün]

Namastè!

I'm using the Hurd in a virtual machine (vmware. Network=bridged). When I try 
to configure the network, I end up in some error message that I don't 
understand.

The command I type:
' # settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth1 -a 192.168.0.172 -m 
255.255.255.0 '

The error message:
' pfinet: malformed address '

I got the IP address and netmask from my Debian installation, also from within 
vmware. I first tried the command with -g (and some address) with no 
difference.

When I try ' # pfinet --help ', I get a ' -bash: pfinet: command not found '.

Now, it seems to me that there's something wrong with pfinet.

Thanks for any help,
Ulrich Grün.
