>Description:
In the config tuning section of the Handbook, there is mention of an archaic .sh extension requirement for rc scripts. This is no longer a requirement and is thusly removed. Also, scripts in rc.d are installed with unique permissions of 555 (not 755 as noted in the Handbook); that is also corrected in the attached diff.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
See attached diff.
