Hi gang, I have read quite a few articles on how to start vsftpd at system bootup but nothing seems to work on my new and updated 6.2 STABLE machine. I have copied /usr/ports/ftp/vsftpd/files/vsftpd.sh.in to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vsftpd.sh and it is executable. In /etc/rc.conf I am placing: vsftpd_enable="YES" and in vsftpd.conf: listen=YES background=YES I can't see the error when my machine boots but when I attempt to run the rc.d script manually I get: .: Can't open %%RC_SUBR%%: No such file or directory I can start the daemon at the command line: /usr/local/libexec/vsftpd & I installed the port sysutils/rc_subr thinking it may help but it does not. I also reinstalled vsftpd with the make option RC_NG but it doesn't seem to do anything (isn't it supposed to install the rc.d script?). Any comments? Peter
