--3MwIy2ne0vdjdPXF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi! Maybe this is kind a newbie question, but I had to run home today because my box didn't reboot properly. Thing is: During the boot process, right after the various network interfaces come up, the system waits with a prompt saying: Are you sure? [yn] Boom. Of course, I can't hit y<CR> remotely without a console. And as it's my firewall behaving like this, it makes things even worse. As well, there's normally neither screen nor keyboard attached. I can't remember that this happened during the last reboot, some 90 days ago. In the meantime, I did some few "cvsup portage" and portupgrade, but no new kernel or something fancy. As well, I "make install"'ed openvpn, but I didn't install the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d To troubleshoot, I first tried to find the silly string somewhere in /etc and /usr/local/etc. Of course, it didn't match anything. Next, I removed all my startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Didn't work either. Next, I tried to find the line in /etc/rc.network - without success. Any hints? I googled already, but it's quite hard to find something appropriate. In any case, I don't think it's good to ask for user input in the boot process :-/ That's the uname -a thing: FreeBSD cow.home.bonhote.org 4.9-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p3 I'd be really happy to get ideas. Thanks a lot & HAND Andr=E9 --=20 "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unkowns. That is to say, there are things we know we don't know.
