And yes, not all is bad in SysV. In particular, having a directory where you can find scripts to stop (and restart) subsystems is very nice. I think the multiple levels (rc?.d) is a bit of overkill. Either the system is up (meaning everything is turned on), or it's down, and the sysadmin who brought it down can start the subsystems s/he needs. Having a single init.d to look in for those things helps in that process. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
