Dear Poly, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf are untouched. The only problem that freebsd ignores the "defaultrouter" line in /etc/rc.conf and just for the archives, kernel has been restored to default, but i have recompiled my kernel and its okay. I will today use the ordiary freebsd update (csup) and see if this will fix what freebsd-update broke- and will update this list. This is a lesson for me and everyone to never run freebsd-update on a custom kernel system, however It shouldnot produce such problem. (i think) Thank you - Marwan Sultan System Administrator > Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:35:44 +0100 > From: freebsd@edvax.de > To: dead_line@hotmail.com > CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: After freebsd-update - all went wrong. > > On Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:06:48 +0000, Marwan Sultan <dead_line@hotmail.com> wrote: > > well, I have fixed problem two by installing back my custom kernel. > > but the system still ignores the "defaultroute" command in rc.conf > > this is why we have manuly added to the rc.local > > Is this possibly a spelling error?
