https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D137271 --- Comment #6 from Ruben Kerkhof <ruben@rubenkerkhof.com> --- Yes, one can work around it by symlinking /etc/host.conf to somewhere writeable. If you're doing that you might as well remove the nsswitch scrip= t if nothing needs host.conf But this is one more thing to customize. I agree with Jilles, perhaps it's = time to remove /etc/rc.d/nsswitch. FreeBSD 4 went EOL 9 years ago. People who wa= nt to run FreeBSD binaries with a custom host resolution order can easily crea= te /etc/host.conf themselves. Hopefully they still know how to do that since host.conf isn't documented as far as I can tell. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
