True only if your options for ifconfig in rc.conf would clear or override whatever it is you put in /etc/start_if_em0. As long as its something that can be done with multiple ifconfigs then all is fine. For example this works fine in /etc/start_if.xl0: #!/bin/sh ifconfig xl0 lladdr 00:01:23:45:67:89 with this in rc.conf: ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
