(I was getting > warned about ports with security problems twice). I am using FreeBSD 6. I haven't tried xorg 7.2 port(s) yet, but recently did merge /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local (programs reinstalled, made link to X11R6 to local, and such). On a reboot after that, scripts indeed ran twice. That was very annoying. and mildly surprising, as the scripts are currently dumb enough not to realize that /usr/X11R6 is a symbolic link to /usr/local. That was fixed by, in /etc/rc.conf, ... local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d" local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" - Parv --
