What are the somethings? Fair enough....Here are the errors ? During boot sequence: syslog: bind: Can't assign requested address syslog:child pid 59 exited with return code 1 ....what does that mean : ^ o ? > Is syslogd running? If it isn't, what happens if you try to start it? > Greg .... How do I do that Greg? BTW I notice in rc.conf that there are no syslog flage set...does this matter?
