Apparently "they" must have been "me" messing up while using mergemaster. The error message is: Additional daemons: syslogd syslogd: servname not supported for ai_socktype syslogd: child PID 76 exited with return code 1 Which appears to be caused by the fact that /etc/services only contains: nameserver 42/tcp name ftp 21/tcp domain 53/tcp nameserver domain 53/udp nameserver cmd 514/tcp shell I wonder how I messed that one up?
