Just a thought.. why not have both? Somebody mentioned /var as a better machine-specific mount point than /etc--but /sbin is also used. If it was /var/ there should at least be a softlink from /etc to lessen confusion. Regardless, it would not be a problem at all to check both locations.. no? Frankly, if I were to do things via NFS I would also have exported 'local' without giving it a second thought. 'local' IMHO is the repository for software systems outside the normal bounds of the standard OS install--not necessarily the configurations. I can live with local/etc/rc.d, but there should still be an option for packages which are not necessarily something you want to globally install--and are instead specific to one or a few hosts (such as HTTPd). -Brandon Gillespie
