This is how I do it: cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d echo "#!/bin/sh -" > bridge.sh echo "sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge=1" >> bridge.sh chmod 755 bridge.sh Personally I don't think every sysctl know should have an equivalent entry in rc.conf, although bridging might be common and important enough to warrant one. After all, there's one for IP forwarding, too.
