[Wow! How did mail from earthlink.net get through? They're major spammers and I thought we had all the relevant points blocked - guess I now know some more IP addresses to add to the firewall :-)] In any case, 2 points: 1. Please send questions like this to questions@freebsd.org. www@freebsd.org is the wrong mailing list given that it is ONLY for discussion of issues specifically related to our web server. Thanks. 2. The docs are out of date, that's all. Our volunteer efforts in this area are running behind demand, I'm afraid, and there's really nothing I can do about it except ask that more volunteers come forward since it doesn't happen by itself. /etc/sysconfig has also been replaced by /etc/rc.conf, hence your confusion. You typically SHOULD have an /etc/resolv.conf if you're on a network and I can only conclude that you failed to configure your name server during installation properly. "man resolv.conf" Jordan P.S. I'm really not joking about earthlink.net - you're sending your email from a notorious spammer who's on everyone's hate lists and if you don't soon find yourself another ISP, you'll quickly find that we're not the only ones to categorically block anything from this domain. After this message goes out I will, in fact, be using your IP information to close the hole.
