Earlier today, in response to John Daniels' message I wrote that you should not copy files from /etc/defaults/ to /etc which is true but my reasoning was wrong: The sentence correctly reads: Some of the files contain sections that try to source other files in order to pick up the overrides you defined. If you copy them over from their original locations, they will end up sourcing themselves infinitely and thus cause 'out of file descriptors' errors and prevent booting into multi-user. Sorry for confusing anybody. Wondering what I might have been smoking... although I'll probably blame it on the heat. We'll have at least comfortable 32 degrees Celsius (89,6 F) in my estimate today... -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
