Hi! I want to make it so that when my system starts up, it sets compression on the tape drive to off (I'm going to be using Amanda, with software compression). So, somewhere during the startup sequence, I want to run the command: mt -f /dev/nrsa0 comp off Where should I put this? The comments in /etc/rc say that if I put an rc.local file in, I need to do some weird sourcing to include the configuration info from rc.conf. Should I create a one-line shell script and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d?
