That's a bit of a problem as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps the network scripts should be redesigned in a similar manner to the one taken on be RedHat. I started playing around with such a thing, using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ as a base for 'network' scripts which take arguments such as 'start', 'stop' and 'restart'. Implementation of such a thing would be fairly trivial methinks. What are the thoughts on this sort of approach to management of network interfaces and ancillary services? - andrew -- void signature () { cout << "Andrew Reid -- andrew.reid@plug.cx" << endl; cout << "Cell: +61 401 946 813" << endl; cout << "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur" << endl; } To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
