It seems that waiting for the network to start up is a common problem. Recently Jeremy Chadwick proprosed adding a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/waitnetwork script. In response others have suggested the more radical step of replacing /etc/rc.d with launchd. See Message-ID <20100418213727.GA98129@icarus.home.lan> etc. I will await developments. Cheers, Rob Jenssen
