Hi Mathieu, After I sent the message to the group, I realized that the RC script reads the content of the rc.conf and rc.conf.local. One of the lines in the RC script searches for a line with "ftpproxy_flags" then executes the daemon with the parameters in that line.
So, I tried exactly what you said but, simulating a new instance, just like the RC script. Now I have the confirmation that it is the way things should be. Thanks a lot.

No you need to put a second startup line in /etc/rc.local In other words. ftpproxy_flags="" in /etc/rc.conf.local and the following line in /etc/rc.local /usr/sbin/ftp-proxy -R 10.10.10.1 -p 21 -b 192.168.0.1 > My rc.conf.local is: > ftpproxy_flags = "-R 10.10.10.1 -p 21 -b 192.168.0.1" > ftpproxy_flags = "" It should be obvious why this wont work.
