My two hundredths of a dollar. I'm more comfortable with multiple rc.<thingie> files and a master that runs them. This may be due to more than a decade with SysV, and its /etc/init.d setup, but it makes more sense and I find it easier to administer system startup in byte-sized chunks. It also means packages can be added without performing a merge into a main file (put 'em in /usr/local/etc/rc.d). -crl -- Chad R.
