In-Reply-To: <199911160704.SAA18216@lightning.itga.com.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I referred to "this line" and said "copy it." I thought that would be clear. I certainly did not mean to tell him to copy the entire file, and I hope he did not understand it this way. I did intend, however, to tell him one place he could look to solve similar problems in the future--/etc/defaults/rc.conf. This is in my view a better response than just providing a line to put in /etc/rc.conf that seems to come from nowhere. Anyway, the question should have been sent to -questions.
