How do rc<something>.d directories affect the locally changed files like /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/uucp/system, /etc/sliphome/slip.hosts etc.? (s,/etc,/var/conf,g if you prefer this. It doesn't change the question a bit.) No, i don't really expect an answer to this either. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
