To execute stuff when you log in, .profile, .login, or .cshrc, depending on which shell you use. There are other directories besides /usr/local/etc/rc.d; they are listed near the top of /etc/rc.conf (local_startup, I believe). --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
