good morning: It has been said to _never_ place startup scripts in rc.conf, rc.local, etc, due to the fact that they are regularly parsed by other programs. Sounds fine, however isn't /usr/local/etc/rc.d referenced to via rc.conf? And this being the case, we would assume that it will be parsed every time rc.conf is called? If rc.conf is called again during runtime, I am sure that it is called to with a variable so that the entire file is not parsed ? Please correct me if I am wrong, this came to me in a dream. I myslef have always referenced them from rc.conf since day one, and my machine has yet to blow up. -- [ - deadpoint - ] ============================================================================ Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
