Anything in /etc/rc.conf will override whatever happens to be in /etc/defaults/rc.conf . The reason it's not good to tell people to edit /etc/defaults/rc.conf is that it makes it a pain in the arse to update the system later. Rick hasn't given us enough information to tell us what the problem is. Rick, you didn't actually say what the problem _is_. What are you trying to do, and where does it go wrong? What commands are you typing, and what error messages do you see? Your rc.conf makes it look like you want your box to act as a PPP gateway for your local area network. If so, you also need to show us how you've set up PPP. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
