Startup daemons & FreeBSD

I recently installed FreeBSD 4.4, and I must say it's very fast and stable. Linux crashed a couple of times, but I'm not knocking it
since I have two other systems running RH 7.2. Anyways, where does BSD store the things such as starting up Apache automatically?
Is it in the inetd.conf file? I was able to turn on FTP by uncommenting the line, but I'm planning to install SAMBA, so I really don't know where to look. I guess I was used to the GUI under RH, but I'm trying to stay away from using a GUI to manage my systems. Which is why I didn't install X with FreeBSD.

Thanks!
 
Things like apache can be started in one of the rc files. rc.conf may contain the information you need, rc.local or something may be better. Check their handbook. Its on their site. /etc/inetd.conf is for things that need identd to run or things you want to use identd for.
 
Hi noc,

I was hoping you would respond. Thx for the info. Anyways, now I'm thinking about trying openbsd. I read over the instructions on openbsd's website, and i was totally lost following the disk partitioning scheme. I prefer to partition my HD by MB, and not cylinders. Is there an option to install openbsd by using MB and not cylinders and KB?

If I remember correctly (its been almost 6 months since I really installed it on my system 😛) you can specify megabytes. Where it asks how big you want it or whatever, just type 200M for 200 megabytes.
 
gracias sir...last quesiton. anything I should be aware of going from freebsd to openbsd? like where certain files are kept?

The FAQ on OpenBSD's site is possibly the best FAQ ever created. Browse through it a bit and most of your questions would probably be answered. Apache is in /var/www, most configs are in /etc (apache keeps its conf files in /var/www/conf of course).
