Nothing in rc.conf makes something happen, it's just ok, you are right, $hostname != /bin/hostname ... so the change i proposed can be applied to rc.conf.local or whatever it is called > If all you want to do is avoid having rc.network set a hostname, just ... > If I'm unclear on what you actually want to do, please feel free to > correct me.

I have had this working for about 3 yrs now, but creating the root partition requires some work for patching files in /etc. The switch to rc.conf and the presence of rc.local to override the defaults makes things relatively easier by concentrating changes in one place (i still need some patching to /etc/rc to mount and populate the mfs /var so that there is a writable partition to work on, but luckily the patch is reasonably small.) cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
