I'm having trouble with using a program. I can't make any sense of it. I have to add a line to the rc.conf file. The line is as follows: /usr/sbin/sysctl -w kern.somaxconn=1024 Now at start up I get this: > Starting local daemons :/etc/rc.local : /usr/sbin/sysctl: not found > /etc/rc.local : /usr/sbin/sysctl : not found Which of course means that the variables weren't changed. I have checked to see that the files is in that directory and it is. If I type it in at the prompt I get "/usr/sbin/sysctl: command not found". I can start other programs like "sysinstall" from the prompt by typeing /stand/sysinstall. Sysinstall isn't in my directory path. I can manually type the line if I'm in the same directory as "sysctl" and it will accept the command properly and adjust the variable. I was wondering why FreeBSD is treating the path like a command in this case? What do I have to do so that FreeBSD will correctly use the line I'm putting in rc.conf?
