The fix is quite simple: Add # BEFORE: mail to /etc/rc.d/sshd I tried to submit a PR on that about a year ago, but it never seemed to make it into the PR system. Many of my servers are remote and if there is an issue with a port, I still need a way into the system other than driving for hours. This works. Sshd is started early in the sequence and I can at least ssh into the server. It won’t help though if there is a syntax error in /etc/rc.conf. Those are pretty much fatal.help
