As nearly as I can recall, mergemaster doesn't touch /etc/rc.conf, and when I noticed sshd wasn't running I had to edit /etc/rc.conf manually to insert the 'sshd_enable="YES"' line. Well, this is going to have to remain one of those mysteries I'll never learn the answer to because everything is working fine now and other matters are more pressing. By the way, I'm really grateful to you for all the help you give not only me but countless others on the mailing list. Without you (and others whose names I don't immediately recall) a lot of us would never be able to learn FreeBSD. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
