Please post your /etc/rc.conf.

 

[cybermerlin]

Part of some special need?

 

[kpa]

Please, you really expect others to be able to offer help if everything has to be extracted from you piece by piece? We really need all available information to even make guesses what could be wrong. I myself have no experience with ipmon(8) but if I were to see your complete rc.conf I might be a be able to make at least a guess.

 

[cybermerlin]

how can I delete ipmon?
if portversion -v|grep ipmon returns nothing

 

[cybermerlin]

n how can I see list of all files used into booting?

it would be very very helpful to me for further research solutions in most cases

 

[cybermerlin]

solved

 

[SirDice]

Would you mind sharing the solution? Other people may run into the same problems.

 

[cybermerlin]

/etc/rc.d/ipmon correct OR in mine case - delete
n ipnat to the same

 

[SirDice]

Please stop modifying start scripts. You really, really don't need to edit anything there. Everything is turned on/off and configured using appropriate variables in /etc/rc.conf. No start script ever needs to be modified.

 

[cybermerlin]

but what if the developers of the system allow such small missteps?

 

[SirDice]

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
