Howdy,
In order to keep /etc/rc.d up to date, it was frequently recommended to
do 'rm /etc/rc.d/* ; mergemaster -i'. As of 4 January this year it's not
only no longer necessary to do that, it's not a good idea to do it.
mergemaster now notifies you of stale files in /etc/rc.d, but the part
of the script that does that will do funny things if you remove all the
files first.
FYI,
Doug
