Hi Paul, You may be using "REQUIRE: abc" in one script, but have you placed a corresponding "PROVIDE: abc" in another script? I also use rcorder to print the order in which my rc.d scripts will be loaded: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rcorder&sourceid=opensearch. Check /etc/rc to see how rcorder is invoked at various times during bootup. Regards, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
