I am very impressed by what I see, and would like to express both my thanks and my congratulations to all developers on a job well done. I do experience one bizarre thing, and would appreciate any input on what to change: Whenever I use either the shutdown or the reboot command, I get: Shutting down daemon processes: Modula-3No matching processes were found Working in auto mode Using interface: tun1 Warning: Add route failed: default already exists What is strange is that after the words "Working in auto mode" it dials up to my ISP, then hangs up, then prints the rest. Why is it trying to add route right before rebooting? This does not make any sense. I noticed a new file added by the install process, /etc/rc.shutdown . It contains, among other things, the following: # If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in. # if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then . /etc/defaults/rc.conf source_rc_confs elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then . /etc/rc.conf fi Why is it "sucking in" rc.conf before shutting down? I think this may be the cause of the bizarre calls to my ISP right before shutting down (though, it does not call my ISP when it first starts up). What's going on, and how do I fix it?
