Hi,
I have an odd problem with my 3 week old -current install - syslogd
isn't started. Or rather, it is started before lo0 is up and it fails to=20
start, eg..

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: /dev/ad0s3a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING C=

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: child pid 285 exited with return code 1
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel:

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: add net ::ffff:0.0.0.0: gateway ::1

I put '/etc/rc.d/syslogd restart' in rc.local but that's only a work around.

I ran mergemaster -s and it did find a few changes (worringly) but the
rc.d ones were just removing 'noprofile' from the keyword line which I don't
think would affect things.
