Foremost, sorry for the cross-post, but more eyes in this case means overall more discussion. Secondly, please keep me CC'd as I'm not on either -rc or -net. I recently proposed addition of a new script to the rc framework which verifies (using ping) that layer 3 network connectivity is up/functional before continuing on with daemons which require network access: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-April/056400.html The overall response was positive, with full acknowledgement that this is indeed a hack -- yet necessary -- and that something more appropriate could probably be introduced into the base system to provide a much cleaner solution (launchd was mentioned). I'd like folks (particularly on -rc) to chime in here, and please see about adding this to the base system. Please note there's one typo in the script (a line which needs to be commented out) in my original post which I've since fixed in the version that's available via HTTP.
