I haven't used netcfg in ages, but do or don't you need a daemon line for this? I don't remember one but it sounds like you do now. Short but sweet messages are nice too, and maybe a little note that users not using NETWORK_PROFILES need not be concerned? -Dan

Erm, ok I get your point. Because I really want to get this out right now, I'm going to use: ------------------------------------------------------------ Attention netcfg users: netcfg is no longer included as part of the initscripts package. Be aware that rc.conf's NET_PROFILES has changed to NETWORKS, and that netcfg must be installed separately. For more info, see the netcfg man page. ------------------------------------------------------------
