The boilerplate for /etc/rc.local -->apparently changed between 3.x and 4.x. Upgrading requires updating it, -->adding the "source_rc_confs" line. A better solution might be copy the last -->part of rc.local to something like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dhcpd.sh. I don't -->know. This works for me. My utmost thanks for the full email you sent, I am using *BSD's in my house and work now in conjunction to the existing Linux machines and when I went looking for the (Linux) /etc/rc.d/rc.local all I came up with was rc.conf. Your mention of /etc/rc.local made me read the manpage for rc.conf and I have to ask if you mean the file /etc/rc.local or as the manpage states, /etc/rc.conf.local ? (A) Is there a difference ? (B) Is it used as a "last chance" file to add stuff as has been the /etc/rc.d/rc.local in Linux ? (which causes big debates). -- Bill Schoolcraft http://wiliweld.com PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 " saevis tranquillus in undis " To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
