Don't put them in the init scripts, those are overwritten during an update, either rc.conf or the config files in /etc/conf.d. If you want to arrange the order of several items, rc.conf is the logical place, but if you just want to make sure service A starts before service B, /etc/conf.d/[AB] is more sensible IMO. -- Neil Bothwick Press every key to continue.
