Just a couple of small nits:
- At the very end of /etc/rc.i386, we have this:
[begin snippage]
echo '.'
# interrupts for /dev/random device
if [ "X${rand_irqs}" != X"NO" ] ; then
echo -n 'entropy source: '
rndcontrol ${rand_irqs}
fi
echo '.' # probably bogus
[end snippage]
The 'probably bogus' comment is true: if you don't have rand_irqs set
to anything, you get an extra '.' printed on a line all by itself.
This has bugged me for a while. (I'm funny that way.) What's the correct
way to fix this? Should the entropy source message be part of the
'386 specific' config messages or should it be a seperate caterory,
and thus be on a line by itself? Put another way, should the first
"echo '.'" go away, or should the 'probably bogus' one be moved inside
the if/fi clause?
- Even though we have rpc.lockd and rpc.statd in the tree now, there
are no knobs for it in /etc/sysconfig or /etc/rc. Shouldn't we be
be starting them if NFS is turned on?
