|    before this happens.
|
|    Introduce a defaultroute_carrier_delay variable and then wait that long
|    in defaultroute before bailing if no interfaces have carrier.  With the
|    default settings defaultroute will wait for five seconds for this, and
|    the original 30 second wait for a default route to appear is unchanged.
|    Note that there is in discussion an alternative approach to the broader
|    problem of waiting for DHCP-configured routes.  However, this change
|    addresses a real problem in the current defaultroute script.

Ed,

I'm always excited to see people take an interest in rc.d, especially
when they post stuff for review. When I posted this message:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=17533+0+current/freebsd-rc
it was intended to be a request for you to review Jeremy's more generic
solution to see if it was suitable for your needs, and correspondingly a
request to hold off committing your solution until that question was
answered. I apologize if I wasn't clear about that. While I think your
approach here is creative, I'd rather see a more generic solution to the
"system needs network connectivity before proceeding past point X" problem.

Could you please back this (and your related changes) out, and evaluate
Jeremy's script? I, and other users have evaluated it for some time now
and found it effective; and I'd like to see it committed, especially now
that Jeremy has updated it.


Thanks,

Doug
