Re: [solved] rc.conf per user

do you just need this for running different daemons for different users?

Because other than that, I don't see a point to having different rc.conf files per user as the network, hostname etc in the rc.conf has to be standard for all users.

If you answered yes to the above question -- then simply start the appropriate daemons for the user in the .xinitrc file or in a script that you can execute on boot.

Re: [solved] rc.conf per user

yes, i need it to start daemon but

.xinitrc is executed when an x session start, right ?

so, this way doesn't work is i don't start an x session.....

Depends on exactly what you put in it, and exactly how you are starting X

or use the session manager to handle that. for eg if you use gdm then it won't read .xinitrc.

Re: [solved] rc.conf per user

~/.bash_profile is executed on login.

Re: [solved] rc.conf per user

Also, ~/.profile is supposed to be a shell-agnostic way to do stuff at the start of a session.
