Thanks for the reply. I added this to the script (and renamed it p0f instead of p0fd): # PROVIDE: p0f # REQUIRE: LOGIN # BEFORE: securelevel # KEYWORD: shutdown It did not change the result, it still fails to start on boot, and still=20 works if I call "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/p0f start" once I login to the box=20 after it boots. Any other suggestions? I have to assume it has something to do with either the redirection of=20 stdout and stderr to a script that is then backgrounded? If I do something= =20 that doesn't involve all of that, it starts fine on boot. How do I correct this? Earlier attempts went as far as to make a script to= =20 start the process, and then call the script from /etc/rc.local. I even=20 tried doing a "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/p0f start" in /etc/rc.local. Nothing=20 works until I go in and run the startup script by hand. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 --- --0-246210538-1273698816=:37652--
