Please note _I've never used squid_, but you probably want something like this in /etc/rc.local: if [ -x /path/to/squid ]; then echo -n ' squid' /path/to/squid -squidoption1 -squidoption2 fi Where you need to insert your path to squid and any appropriate options. > >> Q6.

You just type "linux". If you want to activate the linux emulation at startup (so you don't need to type linux and can just run things without thinking :) you'll need to have a file such as /etc/rc.conf.local and add the line linux_enable="YES" Thats it. Once that is done you can just run the linux programs as you would any other program. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
