> As long as your in there doing gratitious file renameing > (netstart -> rc.netstart) why not rename sysconfig -> rc.sysconfig. It may look gratuitous at first blush, but if you actually really look at it you'll see where the point of division clearly lies. sysconfig contains the system configuration for the benefit of some number of rc.<catagory> scripts, each of which contains the initialization code particular to some particular area of the system. netstart was really just the smashed-together contents of part of sysconfig (variable settings) and some stuff ripped from the original rc file in someone's first pass cleanup. I'm simply continuing that cleanup and making the filenames orthogonal with eachother (though this and the edit-pr argument are beginning to make me think that arguing for greater orthogonality is a lost cause with you, Rod!). > you did this I really want *you* to go grep /usr/share/man for the > word netstart and fix all the man pages. That's fine. I actually think you give us too much credit anyway. Since when did we ever provide documentation for anything in /etc/* that was anything but a sad joke? Documentation on setting up netstart that I'll have to change? Hahahahahaha! There *is no* documentation, dude, and if there's ever a time to change it I'd say now is a pretty good one! > Then send corrections to all the BSD based sysadmin manual writers to Thanks.

"All the FAQ stuff, etc etc.." Grep all of /usr/share/FAQ: zero references Grep all of /usr/share/man: ./man4/yp.4:.Nm /etc/netstart Damn, you're right, Rod - a reference! Shit! This is going to take the rest of my afternoon, at least! :-) Jordan
