At some point in the recent past (can't remember what version) I was seeing portmap errors. The problem was that the particular version I started with had a bug (in sysinstall) that resulted in an /etc/rc.conf that did not initialize the loopback interface lo0. The network_interfaces line should either be set to "auto" or have an explicit list of interfaces with "lo0" at the end. In my case the particular FreeBSD version that I started with (I think it was 3.3) left the "lo0" out during install. I never noticed the problem until much later when I went to enable NFS and portmap gave me fits. cno -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
