You need to edit no /etc/rc.* > files (except for rc.conf.local, obviously). The original idea was to allow other programs to be used instead of the default inetd, by tweaking /etc/rc.conf appropriately. For instance, one could say: inetd_enable="YES" inetd_program="/usr/local/sbin/xinetd" inetd_flags="-reuse" and change his internet-superserver program to something else. I am not sure if this is something that a lot of people would consider a desired feature, but I was trying to see if it can be done (see the request that started this thread). - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
