i think its less wasteful cpu time to run separate daemons then to run 1 big daemon. Because the big daemon needs to find out which service it needs to start every time a fedex guy is knocking at the door while a separate daemon already knows what it needs to do before the fedex guy is standing at the door. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
