Something like this > had already done that, but the problem was the server being managed remotely, as such we do not have access to console output and none of the RC output is appearing in any of the logs (messages/dmesg) including any debuggong.

Thanks to all how have offered advice on this matter. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
