Hi Marius,
I once had a similar problem. The solution was that one of the many
/etc/rc.* (a hunch: check /etc/rc.firewall) is not properly reading
/etc/defaults/rc.donf correctly, and this is causing mis-understanding
in your box.
The /etc/rc.firewall should have at the begining of it the following
lines:
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
source_rc_confs
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
Make sure this is inserted correctly.
Noor

Hi,
I am using:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD utterlux.communityconnect.com 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE
#0: Wed Oct 4 10:39:24 EDT 2000
root@utterlux.communityconnect.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/UTTERLUX i386
Though I cvsup'ed a while back, I just got to 'make installworld'
yesterday. (work has been busy) Anyway, I rebooted this morning and
found
that it is basically ignoring my /etc/rc.conf file. It ignores the
firewall type I setup, my default route, the fact that I have a
mouse. etc. (It does this consistantly on each reboot)
This same thing happened to me before the last time I cvsup'ed to
4.x-stable. I thought it was just that I did something wrong. So I was
expecting doing it again, now that I have updated a number of
other machines sucessfully, that it would work again.
'make buildworld' 'make installworld' and mergemaster (Done completely
by
hand) went through without a hitch. I don't quite understand what is
wrong. But it will do this to me every time I reboot. (Which,
admittedly, is infrequently.)
Anyone else had this problem? I havn't sen it mentioned on the list.
Here is my /etc/rc.conf file if it matters:
