(e.g. inetd or sshd etc.) Daemons in the base system will (should) start automatically. (inetd is one of them). If you installed the system (i.e., 4.x) with ssh, sshd can be enabled in rc.conf. Another poster has pointed you in this direction. And, of course, you can start daemons manually. Specify the full path, as other replies have mentioned. The accepted way to invoke a daemon at boot time under FreeBSD is to add a shell script to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ Go to that directory and look at some of the existing files to get an idea of how to create such a shell script. > Regards > Russell > Hope this helps, - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
