I assume that the patch listed above will be incorporated into the port shortly.

FIBS seems to have something to do with multiple routing tables, a feature that needs to be enabled via a kernel option; I'm not sure if this has been present in FreeBSD 6 already. [...] nor is there anything in the 'sysctl.conf' file. So the setting isn't requested via /etc/rc.d/sysctl at startup (which reads from /etc/sysctl.conf), but from another service. If it was, # /etc/rc.d/sysctl restart would lead to the same error message The message is displayed just before the 'login' prompt. As RW mentioned, Do you have apache?, is there something like Starting additional deamons: apache sysctl: unknown oid 'net.fibs' How can I determine what program is causing this to occur? What's near the error message? Usually the startup notification prior to this message should identify the program that causes this message. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
