AW: fault?

I don´t want to stress anybody...If you don´t want to answer, then let it be...
but if it´s as simple as adding one line to rc.conf, then why not write it in a 
mail like Frederick Bruckman (thanx) did??? And how should I know, if something
is an "essential change" if I don´t know what I´m doing? If I knew exactly what
I´m doing, I wouldn´t need your help...I thought, this mailing-list is for 
people,
who have problems, and how should I learn NetBSD, if NetBSD-guys dare to 
answer???

it's exactly what the error message says: circular dependency.  if you
check:

  rcorder /etc/rc.d/*

you can see that network is _BEFORE_ mountcritremote, so you cannot
require mountcritremote in network this way since the final position is
defined from the other scripts as well.

if you are going to do such essential (and to many people they may seem
utter pointless) changes to critical parts of the system you need to
know what you are doing.  people on the mailing lists wants to help
others but they are not here to do your job and this is not the first
time you asked such a question.  please, think about it.
