Does anyone know how to make a script in /etc/rc.d run last? For instance I want dhclient to be the last script in /etc/rc.d/ to run. Any help is much appreciated. This may have already been answered by others, but I believe just rename the script with a prefix of z for example:

Otherwise doing a 'make package' after the port has been installed will create a package for you. You should then be able to install the package on the other machine using pkg_add. HTH, Micah If you've already done make clean... you're going to end up rebuilding if you use make package.

There are a couple of ports that install new fortune databases. See /usr/ports/games/fortune-* and the Porter's Handbook for more. Kris I think you meant to type /usr/ports/misc/fortune-* At least that is where I found mine. Thanks BTW... I was wondering if there were more I could add.
