So you think overriding things like syslogd_program in /etc/rc.conf to point at a local package is wrong? You are right about rc.local. It's marked as "rather obsolete" in /etc/rc. The rc.d directories provide a much better mechanism for starting and stopping daemons. It looks like 5.0 will extend paradigm to system packages as well, though it's not certain yet. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
