When I installed privoxy from ports a shell script was placed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, which does the job. Mine is mode 555. I'll e-mail you a copy if you want. I wouldn't link from /etc/rc.d -- bad mojo. I put the following two variables in /etc/rc.conf, and privoxy finds it's configuration files in the directory /usr/local/etc/privoxy/ without any help. There is more than one configuration file, and they are substantially self documenting. privoxy_enable="YES" privoxy_flags="-- user privoxy"
