Nordquist) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Congratulations to the FreeBSD team on getting 2.1.5 out the door! All the hard work in keeping FreeBSD -stable (while still trying to keep it -current) is greatly appreciated! [I'm assuming that -stable is the place to post about 2.1.5-RELEASE. ;-) ] I was running the 2.1-960627-SNAP "beta" version (with its kernel). I pulled down just the sources for 2.1.5-RELEASE, and did a make world plus a kernel build+install. The compile went flawlessly. Since GENERIC didn't change between beta and final, I used my same kernel config from the beta. Now that I've rebooted the machine, I can't get out to the network any more. DNS and NIS both wait long times before failing. The syslog is producing an NIS-related message at a rate of about 40k lines/10 minutes. The nub of the problem appears to be the output from ping. ping to localhost (lo0) works fine, but to any network address (ep0) I get: ping: sendto: No buffer space available ping: Wrote [host] 64 chars, ret=-1 The routing table (netstat -r) looks the same as it did before. (I'm not using routed/gated.) A search in /etc revealed no files of interest that have changed today (i.e., since/during the compile). Is this a -RELEASE problem? Any ideas where I could start looking? Thanks in advance for any help... -- Brent J. Nordquist PLATINUM technology, inc.
