On my 5.3, 5.4, and 6-CURRENT systems, I get: Local package initialization: Starting foo. Starting bar. Starting baz. ... etc ...

I think an output > like: > Local package initialization: foo bar whatever. > ...without "Starting" for every service looks more professional. Personally, I prefer the "Starting service X" output better. Especially since that is what is shown when you run the RC scripts manually. I never liked the "foo" output when you ran the RC scripts manually, as it never really told you if the daemon had started, stopped, or errored out. Now, with the "Starting foo", "Stopping foo" etc, it looks more natural and is easier to understand. -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
