When I run cvsup, I get the following message:

"Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?"

Typing the 'hostname' command yields the correct hostname.

The NIC is identified as 'xl0'.

rc.conf contains the line:

ifconfig="DHCP"

Typing the 'ifconfig' command yields a correct 192.168.x.y IP address for
'xl0'.

What am I missing?...
