The proposed patch is wrong not only because it masks the problem, but because NIS may be needed before ipfw is initialized: ipfw allows one to use DNS names instead of IP addresses on the command line, and NIS may be needed to resolve those names. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18521 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
