Hi Oleg, the file /etc/rc.conf(.local) should be never touched by an install script. In case you will enable the network service you have to do this explicit by yourself. For the rc system it doesn't matter later if the line is present but the port no longer installed. -- Regards, olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
