Installed FreeBSD-amd64 and asked to set up NFS server and client during sysinstall. In the boot process, at 'mountd' it takes some time, then: Jan 12 14:36:10 macos mountd[686]: can't get address info for host hmacs.cmi.ua .ac.be Jan 12 14:36:10 macos mountd[686]: bad host hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be, skipping Jan 12 14:36:10 macos mountd[686]: bad exports lists line /home hmacs.cmi.ua.a c.be When adding a line 143.129.75.10 hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be in /etc/hosts (via vi) this messages disappears. I can use NFS. But why is this needed? I can use DNS names for any other host (ssh-ing to them works..) so why not for this at boot time ? of is this normal?
