So you think that if I install a syslog from ports that's started via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslogd.sh, "syslog_enable=NO" in /etc/rc.conf should disable it? For that matter, if I set ipfilter_enable="YES" and firewall_enable="NO", should the system enable ipfilter or not, as there are two contradictory things. Not enabling something is *not* the same thing as disabling it. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
