I'm not familiar with your setup, but in either case I'd grep > through /etc and /usr/local/etc (maybe even /usr/X11R6/etc) for that i'm not sure i'm familiar with my setup, either. <g> FWIW: [results of uname -a] FreeBSD Gateway.fbsd_dfa.org 5.3-BETA6 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 #0: Sat Sep 25 19:41:14 UTC 2004 root@wv1u.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 i've also looked through man grep, as opposed to "i've read *and understood* man grep...," but the syntax remains largely opaque, at least to me. grep [options] PATTERN [FILE...] grep [options] [-e PATTERN | -f FILE] [FILE...] cd'd (in root console) to /etc, but even after leaving the box to presumably chunk away on its lonesome all day while i was at work, grep "permissions are properly set at boot" still wasn't finished! assorted flailings-around and willy-nilly readings ensue(d)... i'm still v., v. confused, but now, in addition to my original confusion, i'm also confused about grep! progress of sorts, i suppose. :c) any further hints or suggestions?
