I would never recommend putting /usr/local before /usr. The system executables should always take precedence from a security perspective. I'm not sure how you made the change to the PATH variable, so I don't know why when you logged out and back in it didn't take.<br>
<br>As for the misprint of /usr/rc.d as opposed to /etc/rc.d, it must have been a typo. Is this a first edition book? The path in FreeBSD hasn't changed in any recent versions.<br><br>--<br>Jerry H<br>
