The error email contains "ifconfig: not found" four times; running system-entropy in trace mode I can see it executing commands from /etc/rc.conf and ifconfig is bombing on these: + ifconfig wi0 ssid WAP1 ifconfig: not found + ifconfig wi0 stationname x200 ifconfig: not found + ifconfig wi0 wep ifconfig: not found What is further odd is that these commands work fine when the system boots and if I execute them from my shell. Any suggestion? --one week into Un?x and treading water... _________________________________________________________________ Find high-speed ‘net deals — comparison-shop your local providers here. https://broadband.msn.com
