As noted above packages that were installed in previous releases were installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with package.sh.sample The file had to be renamed to package.sh and /etc/rc.conf edited to start it. I installed the mailscanner package. But I didn't let the system start it on a normal boot. I started it manually. I'm not in front of the system right now, but I don't think it was installed as package.sh Is this still the procedure with FBSD 6.2 ?

Application startup scripts still go in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but they don't have to end in .sh any more. -- Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota * USA |
