They don't logically belong in pass1, which is for bringing up the network logical layer. These run above the logical layer. Also moving them to pass1 would bring up nfs exports before we brought up nfs mounts. syslogd would not be running to catch errors, etc. Moving things in /etc/rc is not to be taken lightly, it has taken 10 years to get what we have there in a shape that just DTRT for 99% of the folks. Perhaps if you can give us some specifics on exactly what it is that your having problems doing and/or what it is that you are trying to do we can come up with a correct solution. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
