In my experience, ntp hanging on boot usually means the network is down and/or DNS isn't working properly. The AMD automounter does the same thing. My usual workaround it to boot into single user mode, and add exit commands to the startup scripts for ntp and amd so they don't attempt to start. Once I have everything on the network working, most particularly DNS, then I remove these exit commands. On machines running SYSV scripts (e.g. OpenPKG.org things on FreeBSD) that aren't generally on the network, I put an exit immediately after the ``start'' case where I can comment it out to start the service when on the network. This allows the ``stop'' function to work properly if the service is running, preventing locking problems that might occur if the exit were at the top of the script. -- Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

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]"
