I don't understand the rc.d interaction. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-rcng.html Unfortunatly, this document doesn't fully explain how /usr/local/etc/rc.d has changed, but it's a good start nonetheless. More can be gleaned by following the links to other man pages, and reading the various /etc/rc scripts themselves. HTH. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
