I had a similar problem about two years ago. One program required program "X" to load prior to it while program "Y" wanted to load it after it. It was causing a conflict. It is slightly difficult to explain in a few words. I had to manually check every file in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory to straighten it out. I believe that there is a way to have all of that information displayed without going through that much intervention; however, I do not remember how to do it at the moment. Anyway, in the "samba" file, it has this notation: # PROVIDE: nmbd smbd I don't know if that makes any difference or not. I have never had to move the starting order of samba around. I do know that in other applications, they appear to have their name in the "PROVIDE" line. For example, from the Postfix script: # PROVIDE: postfix mail -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
