If it cannot be started manually, how should I capture the output of the portmap with the -d switch? Actually, when digging a little deeper into this I guess that portmap is started allright. I get this: su-2.02# ps ax | grep portmap 115 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/portmap So I guess it is a service started quite early in the process. So the real problem is that rpc.statd isn't running in spite of what is said in rc.conf -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
