Question about Ventrilo port at startup

[Miles Cannon]

Hi Lowell,
 The port maintainer wasn't able to reply to my first email, however, he
included the following in a reply to my post in questions which I've
included in case you should find it useful:
Check to make sure
your /usr/local/etc/ventrilo_srv.ini file can be read by the ventrilo
user/group.
chgrp ventrilo /usr/local/etc/ventrilo_srv.ini
Also make sure that the log file is writable by the ventrilo user.
chown /usr/local/ventrilo-server/ventrilo_srv.log

I still am having no luck with it starting up by itself on a reboot, which
is my main goal, however, I'll keep on trying and have asked another
question. Not sure what else is to be done other than enable it in
/etc/rc.conf
Thanks
Miles
