No, the design of the rc system does not allow for rc.conf to alter the order of the scripts executed, since rc.conf is loaded on a per-script basis and the ordering is done based on 'comments' in the scripts themselves. You can however, load an empty table with the appropreate name, then create an rc script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that fills the table with hostnames to solve your problem. Here's an example: /etc/rc.conf: pf_dyntables_enable="YES" pf_dyntables_list="adservers" /etc/pf.conf: table <adservers> persist /etc/pf/dynamic/adservers: cdn.fastclick.net ad.doubleclick.net # etc etc /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pf_dyntables: #!/bin/sh # # PROVIDE: pf_dyntables # REQUIRE: named pf ppp . /etc/rc.subr name="pf_dyntables" rcvar=`set_rcvar` start_cmd="${name}_start" stop_cmd=":" load_rc_config $name : ${pf_dyntables_enable="NO"} : ${pf_dyntables_dir="/etc/pf/dynamic"} : ${pf_dyntables_list="NONE"} pf_dyntables_start() { if test x"${pf_dyntables_list}" != x"NONE"; then for table in ${pf_dyntables_list}; do echo "Loading table <$table>" cat ${pf_dyntables_dir}/${table} |/usr/bin/xargs \ ${pf_program} -t ${table} -Tadd done else echo hi fi } run_rc_command "$1" -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
