Seperate config files is a bad idea. We tolerate it now because a lot of things wouldn't fit into rc.conf (like the sendmail configuration data). For things that can, they should. Your examples were all things that can. I don't understand the benefit of breaking them up, except to have more files to worry about, and more things that need to be writeable (or symlinked and moved, when / isn't writeable). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
