https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D137271 Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|In Progress |Open CC| |jilles@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #4 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> --- As /etc/host.conf has no longer been used since FreeBSD 5.0, perhaps the ti= me has come to remove /etc/rc.d/nsswitch. A /etc/host.conf file is only needed= to run binaries from FreeBSD 4.x or older with a non-default name resolution o= rder (the hard-coded default was generally DNS, then /etc/hosts). There is no point in changing the pathname since the old binaries refer to /etc/host.conf. A host.conf in a different location would be useless. In any case, the error is written but ignored. The system boots regardless = of it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
