>Description:
if root filesystem mount read-only (nfs, or etc), when machine boot I see
Generating host.conf.
eval: cannot create /etc/host.conf: Read-only file system
eval: cannot create /etc/host.conf: Read-only file system
eval: cannot create /etc/host.conf: Read-only file system
========
in file /etc/rc.d/nsswitch I see:
router# grep -R generate_host_conf *
rc.d/nsswitch:generate_host_conf()
rc.d/nsswitch: generate_host_conf /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/host.conf
filename for host.conf is hardcoded =(
>How-To-Repeat:
boot with / mounted read-only
>Fix:
may be add variable into /etc/defaults/rc.conf?
