What obsoletes /etc/rc.local is /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Server startup scripts and the like used to be bodily added to /etc/rc.local. These days, they go into /usr/local/etc/rc.d as separate scripts. That's also the correct solution for this case. Instead of trying to use the vnc script directly, use a script that sets the path and then invokes vnc. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
