Did get a laugh out of HALD(8) telling me /etc/defaults/rc.conf only lists values for things that are started via /etc/rc.d/*, as that is all that ships with FreeBSD. Values that can be added to rc.conf to enable daemons installed via ports obviously can't be listed there, as the ports tree is constantly changing. Ports daemons are started via scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, so you should always check there for new scripts installed via ports, to see if there's anything you need to add to rc.conf. This is covered, I believe, in the rc(8) and/or the ports(7) man page, and the ports section of the Handbook. -- Freddie fjwcash@gmail.com
