Hi Chris, Thank you so much. I typed the lines you used in your rc.conf, it does not work here. Perhaps I need do some other things, I do not know. I have to check some of these resources you provide. I got this problem several days ago, but still could not solve it now. It is really time consuming... But anyway, I will check these resources. I will contact you if I have any progress or other problems. : ) Thanks, Best, W.W. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
