It's b) and this guess is wrong because we don't do any detection of rcorder compatable scripts yet. See /etc/rc.d/localpkg for exactly how the scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d get run. My suggestion would be to write up a single rc.d script that handles everything using some combination of ifconfig_<if> style variables or a config file. Then you have only one script and you'll be ready to go when we move to full rcordering (hopefully in 7.0). -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
