Hello. I am a newbie to Arch and I get this message when when trying to start FAM.
[jan@eeepc ~]$ /etc/rc.d/fam start
/etc/rc.conf: line 75: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/etc/rc.conf: line 98: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Re: rc.conf and FAM[SOLVED]

wlan_ath0="ath0 essid xxxx key xxxxxxxxxxy

that line is missing a " at the end (or did you accidentally erase it when blanking out your password?)
