The Ports Collection also has the ability to install (for example) a script that will startup rc5des when you boot your machine. Unfortunately, that didn't come with the FreeBSD tarball on d.net. Additionally, the pkg_* utilities allow you to install/deinstall cleanly, leaving nothing behind. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
