set inetrc on a remote beam ?

[Nicolas Niclausse]

Hello,

I'm trying to set an inetrc file with a remote beam started with the 
'slave' module. Problem: it works when the remote beam is on the same 
host, but not on a remote host.

My system: Linux RHAS3, Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.4.9 [64-bit] 
[source] [hipe] [threads:0]

nef:>./test.sh nef 
 

Args: " -rsh ssh -setcookie bar "
Result: {ok,foo@REDACTED}
Args: " -rsh ssh -setcookie bar -kernel inetrc 
'\"/home/nniclaus/sources/erlang/tsunami/priv/inetrc\"'"
Result: {ok,foo@REDACTED}

nef:>./test.sh nef001 
 

Args: " -rsh ssh -setcookie bar "
Result: {ok,foo@REDACTED}
Args: " -rsh ssh -setcookie bar -kernel inetrc 
'\"/home/nniclaus/sources/erlang/tsunami/priv/inetrc\"'"
Result: {error,timeout}

but the file exist on the remote host:
nef:>ssh nef001 "cat /home/nniclaus/sources/erlang/tsunami/priv/inetrc" 
 

{file, resolv, "/etc/resolv.conf"}.
{lookup, [dns]}.

 From the generated crash dump:

...
'no -shutdown_time flag'
'/home/nniclaus/sources/erlang/tsunami/priv/inetrc'
'\'/\''
'syntax error before: '
'application_controller: ~s: ~s~n'
lowercase
...

Any idea ? Or is there another way to set inet configuration ?
