Can't boot normally - syslog?
Hi, Running a 5.2.1-Current box. After we suffered a power outage, and the UPS went offline, the FBSD shut down ugly. I get the usual messages scrolling by when I try to boot, but as soon as the drive gets mounted, I see nothing but zillions of scrolling messages without newlines: = logmsg: pri 166, flags 17, from oberon,g = over and over again. I've let this run like this for an hour, and it shows no indication of stopping. :( I've booted into single-user mode, ran fsck, let it fix some inconsistencies it found, but when I try to reboot normally, I still get the same logmsgs over and over again. Looks like syslog is looping, but I've no idea how to start fixing this. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

NTPD hangs on boot
Hi, Recently did a cvsup and make world procedure, have a couple glitches. NTP will no longer start by enabling it in rc.conf. At each boot I see the starting nptd...and then nothing; the booting process hangs. I have to kill nptd via ctrl-c. Then boot process proceeds normally. I can manually start nptd from the command line, and it starts, runs and syncs up normally. Probably related, after the make world, sendmail also gave me trouble, complaining that it could find file after configuration file (all of which existed). Then it would inform me that Recipient names must be specified as if I was trying to use sendmail to send a message. I screwed around with this for a while, to no avail, then just installed postfix 'cause I missed my mail server too much. That fixed the issue with sendmail hanging up the boot. Any clues to what I might have done wrong, or neglected to do? I'm puzzled, have man'd, googled, and not found much... /ed ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, I tried Procedure 2.

FW: FBSD router/firewall with dhclient dhcpd

Or, more simply, how can my DHCP server hand out *known-fresh-and-good* ISP dns server addresses gathered from the wan-facing dhcp client?? The linksys box I have now does this auto-magically... ;-) I don't know if this is a solution that you want but it works for me. Setup DNSMasq on your firewall machine. http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html or from the ports /usr/ports/dns/dnsmasq. Then just point to your internal IP on your firewall as your nameserver. It's quick and painless to setup and get running and seems to work well for small networks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
