Since neither the kernel nor the startup scripts really frob the sound devices much, another shell script could suffice for this too, no? I mean, I usually have to wait until after I've logged in to turn down the volume anyways. This could even be implemented (perhaps easier) thru the rc.d tree. Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow, and make a port out of it ;) Or am I just oversimplifying things? - alex You better believe that marijuana can cause castration.
