It makes maintaining and installing machines utterly trivial whereas having a billion little files each with one or two options in them makes maintaining and installing machines rather difficult. I sure hope nobody is advocating doing away with the monolithic capabilities of /etc/rc.conf! -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
