Hi! New to FreeBSD and running 5.2.1-RELEASE on an Alpha. I do predominantly SysV/ATT boxes, so I feel a bit out of it... Question #1: I need to create a second loopback interface, which I can do just fine at the command line: # ifconfig lo1 create # ifconfig lo1 inet a.b.c.d netmask x.x.x.x How do I automate this at startup? I stumbled across something in /etc/network.subr that suggests I ought to create /etc/start_if.lo1 which would then be sourced. I assume I can add a ifconfig_lo1 variable to /etc/rc.conf. I tried these, but with no luck. Can anyone point the way? Question #2: I'm trying to start Quagga services on this box (zebra and ospfd). I added scripts to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for these two, but no luck. They work fine from the command line, e.g. # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zebra.sh start # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ospfd.sh start Both have the .sh extension, which seems to be required. How should I troubleshoot this? I don't find anything in dmesg.today suggesting that there was even an attempt to run the scripts. Also, can one use the rcorder keywords to provide startup ordering for scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ??? TIA, Robert
