I noticed that the init structure in the /etc directory is different..very similar to solaris..if not the same. My question is 'how do i add daemons to start at boot time? There are a couple of ways to do this. My personal favorite method is to put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d called "thing-to-start.sh" that does whatever you need it to do in order to start up your thing. No further action is necessary as the /etc/rc* scripts know how to handle those kinds of scripts. > and why are there two www processes 'httpd' and 'apache'..what are the differences? No way to know what you have installed on your system there. The apache distribution creates binaries called httpd if it's not modified.
