networking problems

Unfortunately I don't know enough about HURD yet to figure this one out
for myself.
I installed hurd using the cross-install program (which I needed to tweak a
bit to get it to install libnss-db and libdb2-util for me with libc0.2) and
everything seems to be working fine except for my networking
I did a
settrans -fg /servers/socket/2
which I'm under the impression forces a translator binded to that file to
go away or something (is this correct?)
I then did a
settrans /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -g xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
-n xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
which returned no errors. doing a showtrans on the /servers/socket/2 file
revealed the same input I had given as arguments to settrans. I'm still a bit
vague on what is happening but I'll get to the bottom of that with time.
The "quick install guide" seems to show that this is all that is required to
setup my network and I'm thinking it probably is setup ok. But I'm getting
crashes in any networking apps.
For example ping (which appears to be in the hurd package) crashes with a
bus error.
other programs such as telnet or ftp crash complaining of an error while trying
to open a db file which I am under the impression is caused by a libnss-db
problem.
Are these problems known and is there a workaround? Or was my workaround for
getting HURD to install shonky? I did get the HURD partially installed before
obtaining the libnss-db and libdb2-util packages and ping appeared to work
(though the network wasn't setup and it kept complaining of the network being
unreachable without stopping because I had no kill program - bsdutils wouldn't
install. I had to hit reset *shame*. speaking of which, is forcing bsdutils
to install without sysvinit a potential hazard?).
Any guidance would be welcome. I'm eager to immerse myself in HURD development
