Every time my FreeBSd 6.2 machine reboots, none of the scripts in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory launch the various programs i have defined in my rc.conf file. when i added rc_info=yes rc_debug=yes to rc.conf i see things getting evaluated, but nothing is launched. this forces someone to log in locally to the machine and start openssh so i can get to the box. does anyone know what could be causing this?
