You will probably want to make a file for each of your daemons in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ called sshd.sh for your sshd daemon. Put in this file: first line: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/sshd This is the simplest of shell scripts. Once you have made this file exit and save and run this command on it: chmod +x sshd.sh This gives this file execute permissions Now every time your machine boots this program will run. This is an example for sshd, which if you install sshd from the ports collection it will install this file in your rc.d dir aoutomaticlly with a hole lot more lines of coarse but this idea should get you going anyway. So cusomize this to your liking to which ever daemon you need to run at boot time. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mgruver@reveregroup.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2000 6:07 PM Subject: Where to start daemons,... /etc/rc.conf? > > > You will have to forgive my ignorance...
