I added them in > the tradion of the other options... Yes please, context or uni diffs are nice :-). Though xfs, xdm and pcnfsd are not part of the system and thus belong in /etc/rc.local as a sight specific thing (rc.local is going to dissappear some day very soon from the distribution and will truely become an optional site specific file so that we do not over write any current version of it). bootp does need to go in, so that looks like the only real one you have for me :-). And it is one I some how still have missing from my current work :-( -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
