I've just used a trick with md5(1) to check if the | file rc.conf changes and you missed it because it's hidden between two | other lines.

Clever stuff! I figured I had just missed something... stupid me :-) Cheers! Just tested that out and it seems to work, it didn't start up sshd with my test config! I had a little problem(?) with rcorder though, I think. I specified # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal and from what I read, I was expecting my script to come up somewhere very near mountcritlocal, but it actually appeared after sendmail.. which is miles away. I solved it for now by putting # BEFORE: ipfilter aswell, because really I want it always after mountcritlocal. I'm a bit confused as to why with # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal it was being run so late. Did I misread something? Anyway! With the BEFORE line it works great! Exactly how I wanted it! Thanks alot!!
