You cannot assume that /usr/bin is available when setting up the network. It may be that /usr is mounted via NFS. You can use hexadecimal numbers (prefixed with 0x) in $((...)) expressions. In FreeBSD 9.0 or newer, sh has a printf builtin you can use; in older versions you can use hexdigit and hexprint from network.subr. -- Jilles Tjoelker _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
