I've also seen this with snmpd in a friend's box (the upgrade stopped it, it didn't load, and a few hours later he noticed mrtg was misbehaving). That box is a genuine Pentium MMX 200, so it's no surprise stopping something takes a bit longer than usual.
I think the mistake is in the rc.d scripts, which don't wait for the program to really quit before returning from the stop action. Increasing the delay before restarting is just a kludge, you can still lose the race. -- Cesar Eduardo Barros [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
