Hello!

I'm not sure if that's only on my setup, but starting or restart the
hurd-vm service seems a bit dodgy here:

$ sudo herd restart hurd-vm
Service hurd-vm is not running.
secret service: sending secrets to 11004
secret service: retrying connection [59 attempts left]
secret service: connected; waiting for handshake...
secret service: invalid handshake #<eof>
Service hurd-vm could not be started.

[...] many tries fail as above

Finally, it worked:

$ sudo herd start hurd-vm
secret service: sending secrets to 11004
secret service: retrying connection [59 attempts left]
secret service: connected; waiting for handshake...
secret service: sending files from "/etc/childhurd"...
secret service: done sending files to port 11004
Service hurd-vm has been started.

Have others experience this?

Maxim
