2nd copy of named is dying

I run two copies of named(8), out of /etc/rc.network: ${named_program:-named} ${named_flags} /etc/namedb/named.conf ${named_program:-named} ${named_flags} /etc/namedb/lan/named.conf This seems to work fine, except that the second instance of named occasionally (like, once a month) disappears.

format of /etc/crontab?

The cron(8) man page (on my FreeBSD 4.7 system) says: Cron searches /var/cron/tabs for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory. Cron also searches for /etc/crontab which is in a different format (see crontab(5)). The

I have tried a couple of PCI-based IDE cards. I see messages that indicate that the motherboard is seeing the card and that the card is seeing the disk. Unfortunately, the system is not willing to boot off the disk (sigh). I have tried changing several settings, including: * Setting

Boot problem: ata0: resetting devices

I recently purchased a new motherboard (ECS EliteGroup Mainboard P4S5A/DX+; AMI BIOS) and a matching CPU (Celeron, 478 pin, 2.1 GHz) from outpost.com. I stuffed these into an old chassis, adding a 500 W power supply and a pair of 512 MB DDR DIMMs. After walking through the configuration (accepting
