If you have not installed net/openslp manually it probably got installed automatically because some other port/package depended on it. One of the ports that depends on it is x11/kde3 which I would guess is where you got it from. Like most scripts in etc/rc.d its purpose is to start one or more services running - in this case the slpd daemon. It only actually starts slpd if you have the line spld_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf For more information about the etc/rc.d directory and its contents you could read the rc(8) manpage. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
