I agree to help my brother set up a new bsd box six hours away, doing everything remotely once there is network access to the box. After some hardware issues were resolved, I did a cvsup to get everything up to date and ready for a kernel compile. The o/s will eventually be used as a router, but for now it has just one nic. cvsup goes fine, and I start the buildworld. No errors through the whole process, so I reboot to switch to the new kernel. The machine is now dead to me, it won't respond to pings/ssh/begging. On site, the box is running, and my brother can log in fine (directly, not via ssh). When I ask him to ping around or even ping localhost, it comes up with "ping: sendto: permission denied". He also can't even ssh out. This looks like a permissions/firewall issue, but he is logging in as root, and there is no firewall active. The kernel does have settings for routing, but nothing is activated in rc.conf. Has anyone heard of this sort of error? At this point, we can't even hope for a fix later and just cvsup it when it comes out, the only other option is to toast the machine completely and go with an earlier revision and not cvsup. -Derrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
