On FreeBSD, /etc is reserved for OS configuration files. The equivalent /usr/local/etc is to be used for installed packages, because they reside in the /usr/local subtree which "mimics" the OS-level structures (subdirectories like bin/, doc/, share/, include/, lib/, also etc/, and so on). So per conclusion, /usr/local/etc/tightvncserver.conf would be worth a try. But of course it depends on _if_ the pro- grammer implemented that accordingly... You could, for examination purposes, run "truss" with the binary and grep for which files it opens for reading, to see where a possible global configuration file could be expected. However, those are details that should be part of the documentation, preferred in "man" format. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
