Trust me, I know this one. :-( getting the numbers right is no harder than deciding where to insert a startup clause into rc.local.. anyway, somentimes you want to add something that may need to be started BEFORE something else that is in /etc/rc which means that you have to edit /etc/rc, rather than /etc/rc.local. the sysV startup script is implimented entirely within the /etc/rc[0123456] scripts julian > > From: Poul-Henning Kamp > Subject: Re: cvs commit: src/etc/etc.i386 rc.i386 > > In BSD this has always been done by root editing /etc/rc.local, I never > > did like things that automagically went and f*cked around in /etc, > > I consider that evil and ugle. > > Rod, fine, you're entitled to your opinion.
