	People,

	Well, sorry if it is bad-form to reply to my eaelier post.
	MAKEDEV'ing bfp16 may have beenn part of it.  I have a 
	more important question; does anybody have any insights 
	into *why* when I typed

	# sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh status|stop|start

	did I get a truckload of errors from named[`pid`]??!!
	Nothing I did got the daemon working... .

	I am uusing bind-9 which is installed in /usr/local/sbin/.
	The default bind stuff is in /usr/sbin.  Was part of the
	isc-dhcp* stuff called the contrib named?

	I blew away 5+ hours with my network down.... I sure hope
	someone can de-idiotize me.  

	gary
