Thanks Phil. OK. i editted the copied rc.conf file and left the entries i
need in there. removed the comments as well. it works great. but as soon as
i add any other entries (that are not there yet), to start other services. i
get the same error. i added the options to start exim and apache and i get
the same error, "path: not found" if i remove the line entry then all is
fine. i can however start my exim and apache the /usr/local/etc/$service
start command.

i am running  FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p11. somehow, before i bring down the
latest sources all works fine but when i cvsup and rebuild my kernel this
happens.

this is the entry i have in my stable-supfile:

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4



        The RC boot system in FreeBSD works in the following fashion:

well, i got the same problem even if i tried to start sshd or any other
program manually, until i changed to rc.conf file. trying to run, for
example /usr/local/sbin/sshd, got me the same error.

        ... try to add a space between " and #, i.e.:
