Adding run levels adds uneccesary complexity. Run levels don't do away with "ps", "init", "/etc/rc" or any of those other tools that we currently use to achieve process control, they just add more cruft, and more to the learning curve that dissuades new users from choosing FreeBSD over the alternatives. If anyone out there is desperate to implement run levels, you could release it as a pkg. Aled -- +44 973 207987 O-
