rcNG - starting services.

[DanGer]

Hi Scott,

Friday, December 3, 2004, 5:30:16 PM, you made these points:

> I just made the transition to 5.3 from 4.x and I am unclear on the the
> new rcNG way of starting locally installed services such as MySQL, 
> Samba etc.  I did read the manual pages on rc.d and rcNG.

> I just installed MySQL from ports and would like it to start

> The manual page for rcNG is a bit unclear for starting local userland

yes

you need to add line mysql_enable=YES  to rc.conf

no

yes ;-)
