It may look gratuitous at first blush, but if you actually really look
at it you'll see where the point of division clearly lies.

sysconfig contains the system configuration for the benefit of some
number of rc.<catagory> scripts, each of which contains the
initialization code particular to some particular area of the system.
netstart was really just the smashed-together contents of part of
sysconfig (variable settings) and some stuff ripped from the original
rc file in someone's first pass cleanup.  I'm simply continuing that
cleanup and making the filenames orthogonal with eachother (though
this and the edit-pr argument are beginning to make me think that
arguing for greater orthogonality is a lost cause with you, Rod!).

That's fine.  I actually think you give us too much credit anyway.
Since when did we ever provide documentation for anything in /etc/*
that was anything but a sad joke?  Documentation on setting up
netstart that I'll have to change?  Hahahahahaha!  There *is no*
documentation, dude, and if there's ever a time to change it
I'd say now is a pretty good one!

Thanks.  If I see him, I'll be sure to let him know.

Let's see..  "All the FAQ stuff, etc etc.."

Grep all of /usr/share/FAQ:	zero references
Grep all of /usr/share/man:
	./man4/yp.4:.Nm /etc/netstart

Damn, you're right, Rod - a reference!  Shit!  This is going to
take the rest of my afternoon, at least! :-)
