I agree. However, the related man pages didn't reference this option. This seems like a place where the code and docs could use a small patch to work this way on FreeBSD. (Or maybe it already works this way, and the docs don't reflect it). I suppose in my case, I could still move the config file to /usr/local/etc/ and then symlink it from /etc/, which would meet the requirements of the software, and also meet the expectations of someone expecting a standard FreeBSD layout. > Many thanks, Mark, this really sounds interesting and useful, > a very good combination. :-) You are welcome. I have been running a hosting business on FreeBSD since about 1997 and it has worked very well for us. Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/
