The man page > says so as well :-( Gotta love those man pages. :) But seriously folks, /usr/local IS the home for all of the "after market" software on a FreeBSD system, and less universally, on most other BSD's as well. On Sys5 you'd look in /opt/local (usually) for the same kind of stuff. > I actually symlinked /etc/hosts.allow and .deny to > /usr/local/etc/hosts.allow and .deny. I usually do that too, depending on the level of clue the other people using the system have. :) Another thing I do is to symlink /usr/local/etc/ to /etc/local/. This gives me a little less to type, and lets me back up all that stuff at the same time without having to think about it. :) Keep reading those man pages, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
