You don't have to copy it, just link it (so you get updates to the original script) and add ssht2, ssht3... to pkg_scripts. But yeah, it's not an obvious road and that's why I warned not to hold any breath ;-) > there. I would prefer if we would have a rc.conf file specific for a > rtable. Also it is not possible to start daemons with different flags. Hmm. Can you extend on that? We should be able to make something like this work: # ln -s /etc/rc.d/sshd /etc/rc.d/sshdt2 # rcctl enable ssht2 # rcctl set ssht2 flags -f /etc/ssh/wunder_config > Non the less I think this is a move in the right direction. It is. It's basically the last obvious situation rc.d does not handle besides what was mentioned today (multiple httpd, relayd, ...). Good thing we have rc.local ;-) Anyway, I've been pretty busy lately but I think that's something I'd like to investigate during our upcoming hackathon a couple months from now (it's too late for this release anyway). -- Antoine
