Hello Misc@
I tried to activate ypbind via rcctl:
rcctl enable ypbind
and it did not write "ypbind_flags=" into /etc/rc.conf.local.
I had run ypbind so it should start according to the documentation since
there is a domain file in /var/yp/binding/ but when booting the machine
ypbind did not start and there was no printout from /etc/rc about starting
it. "rcdctl ls failed" did print ypbind.
I tried to debug rcctl with little success. Looking at the script it seems
to me that it checks /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local and should write a
line "ypbind_flags=" into /etc/rc.conf.local since the default in
/etc/rc.conf is "ypbind_flags=NO". But ktrace:ing it indicates that it
also checks domainname and /var/yp/binding so it is smarter than it looks.
Unfortunately /etc/rc starts ypbind like any other daemon so ypbind_flags
has to be != NO and therefore it is not started.
So there seems to be some misunderstanding between /etc/rc and rcctl about
exactly when ypbind is enabled or not.
The workaround is easy enough (manually editing /etc/rc.conf.local so no
big issue.
Also, I tried to set nfsd flags:
rcctl enable nfsd
rcctl set nfsd flags -tun 4
or
rcctl set nfsd flags "-tun 4"
but it did not work (nfsd_flags=)
rcctl set nfsd flags -tu
did work, though.
Known problems?
