Hi, All,

After a long period of not updating one of my machines, I recently did a
fairly large emerge -DuNv world. And now things don't work quite as they
used to.

Symptoms:

sshd doesn't start
nfs doesn't start
rsyncd doesn't start

system sometimes hangs on shutdown when it tries to unmount
remote filesystems.

There are no complaints in /var/log/messages.

I can start all of these daemons by hand without a problem and all
are in the default rc level. Starting nfs is a bit different from
starting
the others: I have to start portmap first

Any ideas on where to look for problems?
