Check that you have the latest rc script by comparing it with the one in /usr/src/etc. diff -u /etc/rc /usr/src/etc/rc There should be no differences between these files. You should also have the following rc* files in the /etc directory: # ls /etc/rc* /etc/rc /etc/rc.firewall6 /etc/rc.sendmail /etc/rc.subr /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.firewall /etc/rc.resume /etc/rc.shutdown /etc/rc.suspend Also the /etc/rc.d directory should contain 145 scripts.
