The above entries are incorrect; it runs no matter what. For me it doesn't cause any problems so I ignored it. Figured if it wasn't a problem for anyone else either that I more than likely had just screwed up somewhere in mergemaster going from 10.0 to 10.1 (I do the source upgrade and do not use the binary update). According to the line in devd.conf it's not supposed to start on interfaces that are not configured for DHCP in rc.conf, and all mine are static. -Mike > These are the settings in /etc/rc.conf: > > ifconfig_xl0="192.168.0.81 netmask 255.255.0.0" > defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" > nfs_server_enable="YES" > check_quotas="NO" > rpcbind_enable="YES" > nfs_client_enable="YES" > sshd_enable="YES" > inetd_enable="YES" > kern_securelevel_enable="NO" > linux_enable="YES" > moused_enable="NO" > moused_type="NO" > sendmail_submit_enable="NO" > sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" > sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" > lpd_enable="YES" > > and this is what "ifconfig -a" reports (after I've used > "ifconfig xl0 -alias 192.168.0.3" to remove the extra IP address): > > xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 > options=80009<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE> > ether 00:b0:d0:22:5a:14 > inet 192.168.0.81 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255 > media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) > status: active > plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 > lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 > options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> > inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 > inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 > nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV> > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
