Hi there, I searched a way to activate new interface/network settings after changes to /etc/rc.conf (defaultrouter, interface aliases, etc.). I found the /etc/netstart script, which does what i want. In the script i found a comment, which says, that this script is obsoleted by /etc/rc.network, but i (well, actually locate) can't find this file anywhere. I then browsed the cvs to search for this script. I found in src/etc/rc.d/ the "network" script, which seems able to handle my network reconfiguration demands. Yet, bravely copying it to /etc/rc.d and executing it, does not work. It produces warnings like: WARNING: $flushroutes is not set properly - see rc.conf(5). or WARNING: $auto_ifconfig is not set properly - see rc.conf(5) and the default route is not set. (yeah, i read rc.conf as advised, but i still have no clue where to set this variables). So, maybe there is a cause this script is not installed? What is the correct way to reconfigure the network (besides ifconfig and friends :)? the system: FreeBSD freebsd.local 5.4-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Mar 26 19:24:16 CET 2005 root@freebsd.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ATLAS i386 thanks in advance -- Martin
