Any stuff in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ should be disabled by default and =20 enabled only if requested by the user. But requiring the user to put =20 foo_enable=3Dyes into rc.conf is not different from requiring the user =20 to add bar_load=3Dyes into loader.conf. So it doesn't make sense for me. =20 Specially if you think about a fileserver which provides a customized =20 /compat/linux to several machines but doesn't run any linux program =20 itself (and thus doesn't need the linux stuff in the kernel). Bye, Alexander. --=20 The only really masterful noise a man makes in a house is the noise of his key, when he is still on the landing, fumbling for the lock. =09=09-- Colette http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
