What it ended up being was the "sendmail-client" startup thing. I'd replaced sendmail w/ postfix, but for some reason, this sendmail-client thing still tried to run, and since I wasn't running sendmail, it just sat there forever. If I ctrl-c'd on the console, it would proceed to run all the startup scripts. I haven't used sendmail in years, but I think this was meant to clear the queue out. I'm not sure if there is a rc.conf entry to stop it (didn't look close enough, but "sendmail_enable=NO" didn't do it). I just commented the sendmail-client stuff out. Its been a while so I don't remember exactly where this stuff was, but you can probably find it. Once I did that, everything ran again. Cheers, Brent
