I failed with mergemaster -cv I have not repeated this step so I am not sure what exectly I did that went wrong. I can only repeat what I wrote to the list: "It was my first encounter with mergemaster and I was a bit unsure what to do with files in /etc. For some that I know I have not customized, I pressed i for install, for some I pressed m, then <enter>, then q and i to install the merged files (although - shame on me I was not aware what is acutally being merged - it was a bit too technical and I was a bit too scared :). With some files I pressed d. Anyway, when I rebooted the machine, I found a lot of warnings like this: Loading configuration files source_rc_confs: not found Entropy harvesting:/etc/rc: Warning: $harvest_interrupt is not set properly - see rc.conf(5) /etc/rc: Warning: &harvest_ethernet is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)" I had never used mergemaster before and I really need to be sure how to merge changes as I think the problem occured during the step I described. Sorry I can't be of more help here. I do not have a test machine to play around and see what I did wrong. -- Zbigniew Szalbot
