If it runs ok from the command line then it sounds like it is just not getting started at boot-time. Or possibly there is an error condition at that point that is not present later. Mine starts fine and yours looks like mine modulo a few minor option differences. Oh, and mine is 3.0-R. You could try starting it the old-fashioned way -- in /etc/rc.local. Add something like this at the end: # NIS password ypdate server [ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd ] && { /usr/sbin/rpc.yppasswdd -t /var/yp/master.passwd; echo ' rpc.yppasswdd' >/dev/console } -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
