What you are supposed to do, is that for anything you want to be = different from /etc/defaults/rc.conf, you are supposed to then place in = /etc/rc.conf. I personally find it a pain in the butt, but I understand why it's being = done. There reasoning is that if there is a change in the format or the = defaults that are in rc.conf, that change/upgrade/etc will not fubar = your /etc/rc.conf, it'll just alter the defaults one. Hope this helps. -Chris (I was confused at 1st also) -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of robert Sent: Friday, June 11, 1999 11:13 AM To: freebsd list Subject: rc.conf??? hello, I just upgraded to 3.2 from 2.2.6 and it seems as though the rc.conf file has lost significance. Where can I control things like which interfaces are used, whether to start lpd or not, default gateways etc? Is there still a central location to set all of this info? thanks in advance. robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
