I haven't seen anyone start sshd from rc.d in quite a while. If there's a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and it has execute perms, then it's trying to start sshd. Watch the startup procedure on boot and see which part of the procedure it's starting at. > I've had to tighten down the box and the changes I've made don't seem > to have any effect, though I did a shutdown and restart.

Best reference I know of are the man pages. type "man inetd.conf" or whatever you want to learn about. Start with "man man" if you've never used man pages before. The FreeBSD handbook also has a lot of good information. See the links on the left side of the home page. As far as print books are concerned, it used to be you bought The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey ... but there are a number of good FreeBSD books nowadays, and I can't say I know of one that doesn't come recommended. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
