For instance, I'm going to run bftpd, so I did a make && make= install from /usr/ports/ftp/bftpd, and it seemed to install fine. How do I know if I need to do anything to start the daemon upon reboot? Where do I look? Or where do I add a line to start it? Do I put a line in inetd.conf? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) The Incredible Brightness of Seeing, a Home Theater weblog http://jdarnold.tzo.com/HomeTheater To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
