I'm seeing something unusual: it looks like some startup scripts are being run twice when the machine boots. Originally I caught this because an old-fashioned /usr/local/etc/rc.d script was being called twice. However, on looking closer it seems that I'm getting ntpd launched twice as well. There may be others that bomb out - but has anyone got any suggestions as to what might be causing this? rc.conf is boring (just turns on a bunch of the usual suspects you'd see on a workstation); I can't see in /etc/rc why this might be occurring. -- jan grant, ISYS, University of Bristol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44 (0)117 3317661 http://ioctl.org/jan/ ...and then three milkmaids turned up (to the delight and delactation of the crowd).
