Hi Crist, I didn't change anything, here's the directory: (14:52) mars:~ >ls -la /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ total 7 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Dec 2 15:42 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 1024 Oct 22 21:37 .. -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 50 Oct 7 19:52 000.compat3x.sh -rwxr-x--x 1 root wheel 434 Jul 30 16:49 apache.sh -rwxr-x--- 1 root wheel 332 Jul 8 17:26 mysql-server.sh -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 392 Jul 25 22:58 samba.sh.sample -rwxr-x--x 1 root wheel 349 Jul 8 18:25 snmpd.sh All ok > > But the more likely cause, did you run mergemaster(8) or update /etc > manually? If you updated /etc/rc without updating > /etc/defaults/rc.conf, your script startup will be broken. I didn't run mergemaster, I like to perform these steps by hand if possible. I did put the line local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" to /etc/rc.conf This one probably changed, do you know what's best to do next ? When I run mergemaster I encounter a lot of diffs, is it safe to let it change just the /etc/rc.conf or is it just a one-liner I can add to it ? I'm feeling a bit nervous about running mergemaster since I only have a limited amount of time and don't want to mess up the box ;-) -- Axel Scheepers UNIX System Administrator email: axel@axel.truedestiny.net ascheepers@vianetworks.nl http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel ------------------------------------------ Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. -- Elbert Hubbard ------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
