I don't know of any way to reliably incorporate all rc.conf changes into a running system. On the flip side, if you know what you changed, you can manually alter the running system. For example: if you change your IP address in rc.conf, you can change the running system with ifconfig. If you change your default gateway, you can change your running system with the route command. I can't think of any rc.conf setting that you can't change manually without a reboot, but it's going to depend on the setting as to what you need to do. If you mail the list with the exact change(s) you want to make, I'm sure people will help. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
