Well, there are ways around that, certainly. Consider for a moment the fact that nobody seemed to be all that keen to continue extending sysconfig or the other /etc files, either, and we're quickly running out of possible options to *debate* here! It's not like there are that many different approaches available to us - either we code implicit knowledge of our ports tree into our system startup files (current approach) or we enhance the "rendevous" mechanism enough that we don't have to. Are the X ports your only concern? We could take Paul's suggestion and enhance it a little bit, e.g. rather than being a directory it could now be a list of directories: local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d OK? Jordan
