Network problems

sshd_enable="YES"
portmap_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"

ifconfig_sis0="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="marco"



Please note that if I use dhclient to get an address from the DHCP server
I get the same problems.


I tried a few other scripts in /etc/rc.d and I got the following results:

Given errors in the two messages above, I fear I messed up some config
file during an upgrade, but I have no idea which ones. I looked in
rc.conf(5) but I couldn't find any reference to the mentioned variables
$flushroutes and $auto_ifconfig

I forgot to mention also that the kernel is a GENERIC kernel with IPV6
disabled (but a stock kernel didn't do any difference).
If I run /usr/sbin/inetd directly , inetd does work, and I can ftp
locally, (so maybe the ftp problem isn't related to this issue ?)
