I like the idea of splitting the various other rc files into pieces as long as I can control them all from /etc/rc.conf. If it's extensible that's even better! What I really hate is the SysV/Linux/Solaris style of rc.d configuration directories where you create/maintain softlinks in specially named directories (named after the run level) to a master set of startup files. Blech. Yuch. Ptooey! -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
