Dear All
Thanks for your help.
In /etc/rc.conf, I found the line
hostname="dfly.llaisdy.com"
A setting I'd given it on a whim during the installation. I changed that to
hostname="localhost"
to tally with the settings in /etc/hosts.
Now startx works as normal when not connected to the internet. Boot
still pauses at "Starting sshd", but not for so long.

I tried this:
192.168.0.1 localhost
but it seemed to have no effect.
So, thanks for your help. I think it's workable now.
Best wishes

Hello,
Does dfly.llaisdy.com point to 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts ?
Usually it is recommended to put the machine name to 127.0.0.1 in the
hosts file.

Dear All
I have recently installed dragonflybsd. Configs and installations seem to
be going well, apart from two strange behaviours, possibly linked. If I'm
connected to the internet everything is fine but, if I'm not:
(a) during boot, the machine stops at
Starting sshd
I leave it for 5 minutes, but no progress. If I ctrl-c, it finishes the
rest of the boot (presumably abandoning start sshd).
(b) Starting X without an internet connection is very slow, but does
eventually get through. e.g.:
> startx
xauth: file /home/ivan/.serverauth.812 does not exist
... wait 2 mins ...
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "dfly.llaisdy.com.2" in "list" command
... wait 1 min ...
- into X!
Please could someone explain why these things happen, and how I can make the
computer easier to use when I don't have an internet connection.
With thanks and best wishes
Ivan
