True only if your options for ifconfig in rc.conf would clear or override whatever it is you put in /etc/start_if_em0. As long as its something that can be done with multiple ifconfigs then all is fine. For example this works fine in /etc/start_if.xl0: #!/bin/sh ifconfig xl0 lladdr 00:01:23:45:67:89 with this in rc.conf: ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
