Doing so will make a script file called adzapperd, which will then run in the background automatically. If you don't figure it out before tomorrow, let me know and I'll mail you the contents of the adzapperd script (I'm not at home and I can't access my home computer from here) There's nothing special about that rc.d directory -- it's just a predefined location (defined in /etc/defaults/rc.conf) as a place to look for additional startup scripts. - Julian -- Julian C.
