Hi Mike, I'm not quite sure what you're saying here... if by "2 switches" you mean rc.conf and rc.conf.local, the reason you don't touch rc.conf is so upgrades go smoothly. If you have not changed the rc.conf, the upgrade script can just replace it with a newer version rather than mucking about trying to merge your changes. Also, if you put all local changes in rc.conf.local, you can see at a a glance what changes have been made. I don't see reference to pkg_scripts in this thread so far. To start portmap on boot, you should have (at minimum) these in rc.conf.local: portmap_flags="" pkg_scripts="portmap" pkg_scripts is a space delimited list. For example, you might have something like this if you also run other services on boot: pkg_scripts="portmap httpd nfsen samba" If by "2 switches" you mean portmap_flags and pkg_scripts, I don't know, you would think that if I went to the trouble of adding 'pkg_scripts="portmap"' to rc.conf.local, that it would be obvious that I want to run portmap... My only thought is that some daemons need flags to be defined in order to run properly, such as: $ grep normal /etc/rc.conf |grep -v -e^# -e\"\" rarpd_flags=NO # for normal use: "-a" ldattach_flags=NO # for normal use: "[options] linedisc cua-device" mopd_flags=NO # for normal use: "-a" dhcrelay_flags=NO # for normal use: "-i interface [server]" rtadvd_flags=NO # for normal use: list of interfaces rtsold_flags=NO # for normal use: interface tftpd_flags=NO # for normal use: "[chroot dir]" nfsd_flags=NO # for normal use: "-tun 4" and see nfsd(8) -Barry
