Otherwise, the default is to run the script in a subshell. In rcNG this means that if you need persistence of a variable from one script to another you need to give it a .sh suffix. The atm2.sh and atm3.sh scripts share a couple of variables, so it was necessary to have them execute in the same process as /etc/rc. Ideally, this shouldn't happen, but I don't have an ATM interface and I don't know how it's supposed to be setup, so I left those scripts largely untouched in hopes that someone who does use them can rewrite the scripts for rcNG. > I believe etc/network_ipv6 needs the following patch: Correct.
