Why, yes. There's nothing "magical" about the rc mechanisms, and you are free to start daemons on your own. Be warned that there may be side effects with some daemons, being that they are not started the same way regarding login class or whatnot. But normally this won't be a problem. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
