Or if one needs to ifconfig earlier in the startup process then put one's script in /etc/start_if.em0 I don't know what -tso does, but the start_if thing comes in very handy if one changes the MAC address on a NIC, say, for cable modem use without "bothering" one's ISP tech support. Also for setting the MAC address at boot before dhclient starts. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
