Where can I put this stuff to get loaded and loaded only once? add the line to the end of /etc/rc.local or make a script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc5.sh that starts it. you're lucky, rc.conf is sourced by a LOT of config files, meaning it's read in multiple times at boot and periodically while the system is up by various scripts. just follow the above directions and you should be ok. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
