Ah feh. I've never mounted my /usr over NFS (I like that cached locally everywhere :-) and thus didn't notice this problem creep in. > syslogd is now started much too late. Where would you suggest we start it? I'm not at all adverse to suggestions here, folks, this IS a group project and if you don't like something I'm doing or have a better suggestion then please, SPEAK UP! Rod certainly hasn't been shy in doing so and I've already responded to quite a bit of his feedback by making changes. All I know is that /etc has been an evil mess for a long time and I'm finally trying to do something about it. I'm not egotistical enough to think that everything I'm doing is necessarily the *right* thing, but I do know that change where /etc is concerned is good. If I only start the ball rolling on this and then hand off to someone with more "vision" of how /etc should work then I'll be only too happy - really! Without triggering the old SYSV rc vs BSD rc debate, of course! We already *know* where that one leads! :-) Jordan
