Thanks, with that information I found that it had been narrowed down to ipv6 support, and possibly mpd. I still haven't found a recommendation for a fix or workaround, so let me provide one for those poor suckers like me who run into it. In /etc/defaults/periodic change the following to "NO". # 500.ipfwdenied daily_status_security_ipfwdenied_enable="NO" # 550.ipfwlimit daily_status_security_ipfwlimit_enable="NO" # 600.ip6fwdenied daily_status_security_ip6fwdenied_enable="NO" # 650.ip6fwlimit daily_status_security_ip6fwlimit_enable="NO" Some of that might be overkill, I dunno. The best discussion (of only two) that I found in the archives is initiated by: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=126466+0+archive/2002/freebsd-stable/20020616.freebsd-stable From what I get out of that, I could probably make this stop by recompiling without ipv6 support. This being more difficult than just not using the feature that's causing the crash, I chose the latter. jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
