Some of us prefer to have commands to start things in one nice list in /etc/rc.local, rather than loads of separate shell scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. There's no reason I can see for rc.local not to get read at boot time. I'd recommend the original poster compare his other /etc/rc* files with those in /usr/src/etc to make sure there has been no local modification to remove the code which calls rc.local. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
