While it's waiting, it won't service any other requests, which will cause mysterious non-RPC service failures, made more mysterious by them suddenly working a bit after a reboot. Perhaps it would be helpful to add inetd to the list of dependencies for portmap in /etc/rc in a future release? Or perhaps not... sdb -- sdb@ssr.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
