After the enties were put in /etc/inetd.conf

# ps auxwww|grep init
root 1 0.0 0.0 776 268 ?? SLs 9:41AM 0:00.43 /sbin/
init --
root 54988 0.0 0.0 404 272 p1 R+ 6:25PM 0:00.00 grep

# kill -HUP 1

Should have worked

inetd is disabled by default. Do you have inetd_enable="YES" in
/etc/rc.conf?

You are correct...I'm a dummy.

Fixed

No, it's easy to miss. Most things now don't use inetd because of the
security implications. That can probably be done with cclient.

There a number of things that have changed since my last load (5.4)

Entire /usr/local/etc/rd.d is different... no more package.sh

Anyway thanks for your reply. Good to know FBSD is on the move. It's
my favorite O/S.

I'm still confused about current FBSD startup after reading the
handbook. As noted above packages that were installed in previous
releases were installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with package.sh.sample

The file had to be renamed to package.sh and /etc/rc.conf edited to
start it.

I installed the mailscanner package. But I didn't let the system
start it on a normal boot. I started it manually.

I'm not in front of the system right now, but I don't think it was
installed as package.sh

Is this still the procedure with FBSD 6.2 ?

Application startup scripts still go in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but they
don't have to end in .sh any more.
