Thanks for the reminder. I didn't make any changes to that file because there weren't any [/test lines in it, and there were enough oddities that I felt like I'd be better off leaving it alone. Someone with more knowledge about it and more ability to test the results could probably do some good there. > BTW: please make the rc* files be self contained (where it makes sense) so that > they can be called outside of rc.

I am not opposed to this change, however A) It's fairly huge, B) It's extremely controversial, given that it makes us more like SysV, and C) I don't care enough about it to fight the requisite battles. If I _were_ inclined to do something like this I'd start small, and start submitting patches. Personally I kind of like some of the scripts sun has where you can do 'nfs_script start' or 'nfs_script stop', etc. It makes things easier on long-running systems.
