I often find I'm installing "replacement" tools on various OSes, and I'm not above swiping a better RC system from, for example, FreeBSD, and installing it on other machines. I'd like to see a generally useful RC package in FreeBSD. If I'm going to add xntpd, the amd automounter, PLP, or various other tools in there it is sometimes nice to be able to just have one place to mess with. Sometimes one simply can't just let the system do its thing (like starting inetd and thereby allowing FTP, telnet, and rlogin to proceed) and then fire off "local" additions. H
