I suppose I could transpose them rather than comment out the first line. I had not thought to try that. Are you running ipv6?

Re: a small problem with /etc/hosts in FreeBSD 6.2
in my hosts file, I have a line that looks like this: ::1localhost localhost.mydomain.com Is this line for IPv6 or is there some other reason for its presence? It causes occasional problems, so I commented it out and I kept a similar line that points to 127.0.0.1 there should be 2 lines ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain An example of the problems it sometimes causes is that if I telnet to localhost at port 25 I get this: Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The solution to this truns out to be a bit more complex than I though. I eventually gave up on fixing the contens of the mergemaster directory in the source tree, and fell back to a new buildowrld. The final straw was that if I did not have megemaster.8.gz the insatll would fail, but I alos needed mergemaster.8 (the uncopressed version). But then make complained about not having the compressed version :-( -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Small problem upgrading older machine
I'm upgrading a bunch of older machines *some as far back as 4.2). First let me say a bing THANKS YOU for all the hard work the release engineering team does to make this work as well as it does. Now, let me point out a small problem. When I got to the "make installworld" step, I was politely informed that I needed a snsmp user. Looking at UPDATING, I saw that I could install the newer mergemaster by hand, and use it to add this user. I did that. Unfortunately the installworld, then errored when it got to installing mergemaster, as there was then on mergemaster.sh file in the directory, and no rule to build it. I copied the file back from the final location, back to mergemaster.sh in the source tree, and I'm re-running make installworld, which should go OK now. Would it be possible to fix the Makefile to prevent this problem? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
