NEVER EVER EVER put a startup command in rc.conf or rc! rc.conf gets read into multiple startup scripts at boot time and at certain intervals by periodic scripts and breaking /etc/rc is really good way to hose your machine if you don't know what you're doing. use /etc/rc.local or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/(myscript).sh to start things up. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
