The topic isn't /ALL/ of /etc just those directories that are considered part of the OS like /etc/rc.d and /etc/defaults. The difference is rc.d contains only the startup scripts for the operating system. All others /should/ be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. As for the comment about many different machines using the same source tree. Those modifications, as it is my understanding, should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d not in /etc/rc.d. That's what the whole /usr/local is there for is it not? If you need to disable the scripts in /etc/rc.d with their respective rc.conf values and then roll your changes in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Or am I missing something there? -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
