The best resource/starting place is man rc. You'll find lots of useful info there and pointers to other manpages that cover what you need. In particular, network services are started from /etc/rc.network Essentially the rc.network file slurps in the base defaults in /etc/defaults/rc.conf first and then any settings you have in /etc/rc.conf override those defaults. These settings (variables) are then used in each of the rc files called from the 'super rc' file, /etc/rc (one of which is /etc/rc.network). See also this post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-questions&m=105231343528470&w=2 regarding rc network initialization. Best Regards, Jez
