My apologies for not reading the > documentation---but I didn't know that's where I'd find the answer. well, i just found out by looking into that file, rather than reading any documentation ;-) however in FreeBSD 5.x more and more services start to use the "enable-option", which is very nice i think, it's very useful in a jail-setup with shared nullfs-mounted directories > And thanks for the quick response....I think I waited all of 10 > minutes! > > I have to say FreeBSD is just terrific.

Many thanks to all.... i agree, esp. the jails and ports i enjoy a lot, e.g last week i needed to get a database-backup used with mysql 3.x from a linux-machine working on a newer linux-setup with mysql 4.x, and that backup refused to "load properly" then on a freebsd-machine i installed mysql 3.x, used the database-backup on that, did a mysqldump, and then it worked fine on the linux-machine of course on linux i could have removed the mysql 4.x and compile mysql 3.x from source, but that would have taken quite a bit more time yes, FreeBSD rocks :)
