Hi,
Running 6.1 installed from the most recent .iso CD and sync'd ports
through CVS, I wish to have the Ventrilo port start up as a daemon upon
reboot, however, I'm not having any success in having this happen. I did
some searching with Google and found little information specific to
FreeBSD for Ventrilo at all, let alone a start up script. The port has
one, but it seems to not work, rather it is that I do not know how to
make it work properly. Trying to run it results in it exiting out
without anything starting.
Searching the Handbook, I found that section on rc.d, and modifying a
sample script there I was able to get Ventrilo to start from the script,
however, it still wouldn't work if I put a line in /etc/rc.conf
ventrilo_enable="YES"
And this was with the script into /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ as well.
So what I am wondering is what I am missing and/or supposed to do with
the script that came with the port given below? If someone could point
me in the right direction, that would be great. Am I doing things
correctly with /etc/rc.conf or is there something else I should be
trying. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on learning shell
scripting so that I can understand the scripts better.
Thank you,
Miles

P.S. I did send a message to the maintainer, however, have not heard
back in about 3 days and do not wish to pester him. He may never have
received the message or might be unavailable.
