I have experienced this same problem before, what I have discovered to be
the cause of it, is when the BSD machine cannot lookup its own _forward_
dns, so, what you should do is make sure that cronos.tjhsst.edu can be
resolved to its correct IP.  This problem seems to be common across all
BSDs that i have used, not just freebsd.  Anyhow, thats my 2 cents.
