As it happens, I need to set usb_pgood_delay to a larger value to let the machine find the USB hard disk. Thus far the workaround has been to manually editenv on the console. Inbound ping requests are not answered except for a few seconds around the time ntp runs. Inbound ssh connects prompt for a password and then time out. The ping and ssh problems can be worked around by starting an outbound ping process. A few seconds after doing so both ping and ssh are answered, erratically but usably. The problem seems to be confined to the Pi3s. Four Pi2s and a Pi4 on the same network branch exhibit no such problems. Only the pair of Pi3s seem to be affected, under 13.1 and -current. The network is started with these lines in /etc/rc.conf: hostname="www.zefox.org" ifconfig_ue0="inet 50.1.20.28 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="50.1.20.1" sshd_enable="YES" Reference to DHCP has been removed. Could that be a source of mischief? It seems not to cause problems on other hosts. Thanks for reading, any insights appreciated! bob prohaska
