Well, upon further review of the handbook, I came across this - Note: Do not place any commands in /etc/rc.conf. To start daemons, or run any commands at boot time, place a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d instead. This still leaves me wondering where I would define options found in the default rc.conf. Should I just hack away at rc.conf, or is there a program which must invoke such changes? Also, when cvsup'ing and upgrading a FreeBSD-4.3 box to FreeBSD-4.5-RC2 box, the ports installation of ssh2 breaks when it tries to replace the original system-installed (FreeBSD-4.3) version of sshd. Upon the next reboot, the old sshd server starts, not the new one. Perhaps some developers are looking at this list, as well. -dt -----Original Message----- From: Dan Trainor [mailto:dan@ript.org] Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 10:28 PM To: 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: RE: question about rc.conf Awesome, thanks. -dt -----Original Message----- From: Ray Kohler [mailto:rkohler1@cox.rr.com] Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2002 10:16 PM To: Dan Trainor; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: question about rc.conf On Saturday 19 January 2002 11:44 pm, Dan Trainor wrote: > Reading through thhe /etc/defaults/rc.conf file, I see this: > > local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d > > Is it "standard practice" to use that, and drop all startup > scripts that come with applications inside that dir, Yes. > or do I just > add those little startup scripts directly to /etc/rc.conf? Never heard of doing that. Sounds like a big pain to keep up with. -- Ray Kohler Time is nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once.
