Thanks Chris.

What am I doing wrong? I got the ssh=YES into the rc.conf file (after
learning how to use vi :) and now I can use Putty to log in, but when I vi
on rc.d I get this message:

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Warning: rc.d is not a regular file.

and all I see is giberish. Looks like a binary file.

thanks again.
Fernando
