I am not sure just at what point the rc.conf is read or re-read. Try putting something in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xxxx.sh script to check for a specific environmental variable that you make up and put in /etc/rc.conf and then running the xxxx.sh script manually to see what it knows about - even just put a printenv in the script. ////jerry > > ########################################### > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]-> uname -r > 6.0-RELEASE > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]-> /etc/rc.d/sshd restart > > ########################################### > > -- > Bill Schoolcraft | http://wiliweld.com > > "If your life was full of nothing but > sunshine, you would just be a desert." > > > > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
