It went pretty smoothly except that several services failed to start and others acted badly. In particular: Initially, postfix, cups and postgresql failed to start. named started too late, so ntpd couldn't resolve the timeserver names and couldn't set the time. I solved this per the suggestion in a prior post by setting: early_late_divider="NETWORKING" in rc.conf. cups didn't start because it didn't understand the faststart argument it was being passed. I just recompiled Samba without CUPS since I don't have any printers anyway. The one I can't figure out is postgresql. It doesn't start, but after the server finishes booting, I can start it manually by running the 010pgsql.sh script. Also, this is probably a stupid question, but is there a boot.log or something like that shows the bootup messages that come after dmesg? -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc.
