Created attachment 191906 [details] Hang workaround The PCDM-session binary does not daemonize when being started with xinit in $PREFIX/sbin/PCMd which in turn is called from the rc.d script. This results in the rc.d script hanging when called and all services after this rc file not being started. (In my case: cron, ssh and the automounter family). The patch works around that but i think that's not the right fix. The fix should be done in the PCDM scripts themselves. Affected system: $ freebsd-version -ku 11.1-STABLE 11.1-STABLE
Thank you! I can confirm this fixes my problem with rc scripts not being started.
Also seeing this on a newly installed 11.2 machine.

Maybe a maintainer reset and/or port deprecation is in order here.
I think it is now being developed on Project Trident: https://github.com/project-trident/pcdm
this is simple, let's fix it
Created attachment 209350 [details] pcdm fix This patch should fix it. PCDM doesn't daemonize/fork, so we need to handle this by using daemon(8). That's what's blocking the rest of the services from starting.
