Are there any utilities I can use to manage these network configs i.e. pick one after system boot? Or should I just spend a few days in the man pages and RC files, figure out what gets written where at network bringup and script accordingly? In Linux I just wrote a shell script to accept an arg and configure the network accordingly. Too bad it's not portable ;-) Thanks - JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
