Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm beginning a slow migration of my home LAN from Linux to FreeBSD. Despite successfully completing a 'make world' (I read UPDATING) I'm sort of struggling with ability to restart services without a reboot. I can, under RedHat Linux restart networking either of three ways (not including a reboot): 1) ifconfig eth0 [params] up/down 2) /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart 3) ifup/ifdown [device] So, please correct me or suggest another method of doing the same in FreeBSD. Do I simply just do: 1) ifconfig my way out of my self-imposed paper bag 2) sh /etc/rc.network And it is the 2nd way for the othe services also, correct? Thanks much for the help! - Scott ----------- Scott Nolde ----------- FreeBSD bsd.hostile.com 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #0: Wed Mar 28 13:51:04 EST 2001 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
