My bad, I was reading it as an EXAMPLE, not a DEFAULT. All is well. -dt -----Original Message----- From: Jim Mock [mailto:mij@soupnazi.org] Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2002 12:08 AM To: Dan Trainor Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: question about rc.conf On Sat, 19 Jan 2002 at 23:59:48 -0700, Dan Trainor wrote: > Well, upon further review of the handbook, I came across this - > > Note: Do not place any commands in /etc/rc.conf.

Everything in /etc/rc.conf is an override from what's in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. If you're talking about starting up other things like apache and whatnot, a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is the way to do it (and the apache port will do that for you). What specifically are you talking about? Give me an example of what you're trying to accomplish. > Also, when cvsup'ing and upgrading a FreeBSD-4.3 box to > FreeBSD-4.5-RC2 box, the ports installation of ssh2 breaks when it > tries to replace the original system-installed (FreeBSD-4.3) version > of sshd.

Why not just use that? - jim -- jim mock <mij@soupnazi.org> http://soupnazi.org/ | jim@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
