If your /etc/rc.conf does not contain the proper line, copy it from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and edit it *only* in /etc/rc.conf ... do NOT change /etc/defaults/rc.conf :) -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public key: finger keramida@ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
