I was trying to be consistent and set everything up as closely as possible to the way I had done it on my RetardedHat boxes. Installing nrpe/nagios-plugins from FreeBSD ports is about a thousand times easier and creates a snazzy new-style rc.d script for me right out of the box. And now I can just put nrpe2_enable in my rc.conf and everything works swimmingly. God I love FreeBSD. Thanks for mentioning ports -- I don't know why I didn't think of trying that before ;-) Sean :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
