Re: not everything coming up on a reboot
Hello Mike, do you have ppp_enable=YES in your /etc/rc.conf? If you never configured /etc/rc.conf to start ppp on boot, you should take a look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see what options are available, and what options apply to your setup.

Quite disturbing if I happen to be away from the house and a power failure lasts longer than my UPS. After boot, if I run /etc/rc.d/ppp-user start, it comes up perfectly, using my settings in /etc/rc.conf. So, why wouldn't it come up at boot? I thought that every initscript was passed a start argument. I can't find a log of an attempt at all. Do you have ppp-user_enable=yes in your /etc/rc.conf? Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

I maintain several ports and generally I just go with the stock script that comes with the port. You might want to ask this question on freebsd-ports@ you're more likely to get an answer from someone who understands rc.d scripts. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

Mike I forgot to mention, as a workaround if you can't get the rc.d script working you can start it from cron. Just replace the time/day/month variables with @reboot and the path to the exicutable. I use it for a couple of things that don't have start scripts. See man(5) crontab for examples. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
