Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok - We need a small change to /etc/rc. I discovered this when I set up a primary nameserver on a machine that also wanted to mount NFS mount points. If you have an /etc/resolv.conf, and you are the primary name server. The mount -a -t nfs in /etc/rc happens _before_ named is started. This means that the mounts fail (timing out eventually). I think it would be prudent to move the mount -a -t -nfs command until after all the networking deamons have begun, but particularly after named has started.
