Hey Mikael, Thank you for your feedback.
To find out a port's maintainer, you can look into the makefile under CVS: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/dns/mydns/Makefile It looks to be: MAINTAINER= a...@freebsd.org If you don't a get a response from this developer, then try the generic "po...@freebsd.org" address. As far as fixing the problem, I think a trick might be to do something like this: while /etc/rc.d/mysql status = up && mydns == exit failure ... You might want to fork off the process to do this so if mysql hangs then your startup script doesn't hang the boot sequence waiting for it.. -Alfred * Mikael Bak <mik...@t-online.hu> [090117 11:38] wrote: > Hi list, > > This is my first post to this list. > I'm not exactly new to freebsd but I have used GNU/Linux more. > > Last week I installed my first FreeBSD 7.1 machine.
