Yes, this is unfortunate, but normal, as I explained in an earlier post. The sshd process does not return any error (and thus the /etc/rc.d script doesn't either), because it has no way to know that its forked copy died. The solution to this PR is "don't run stuff on conflicting ports". :) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
