Enable inetd without enabling amd or being an nfs server (i.e., nfs client only). >How-To-Repeat: Enable inetd without enabling amd or becoming an nfs server (nfs client only, for example). Uncomment (as an example) ftpd or talkd and (for example) rstatd rusersd. HUP inetd. talkd will fail since it cannot connect to local daemon. After a while, it will work. Then it will fail again. >Fix: Add chkdepend inetd inetd_enable portmap portmap_enable to /etc/rc. Or add a comment to the appropriate place in the inetd.conf file for morons like me:-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
