I believe the approved way is putting a shell script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d in order to run daemons on bootup. I for example am running samba out of /usr/local/etc/rc.d, as that is where the installation defaulted to. > I'm very pleased at how smoothly this has gone, especially the hard > parts (and mad at myself for bungling two basically simple parts that > I just couldn't see for looking!). Many thanks indeed for your help. Remember, Questions can help you much faster, I have cc'ed the list in case anyone has further specifics, or I am flat out wrong. -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
