Yeah, poor english, I didn't mean to imply xor. >> That means that if you've got two different orthogonal applications >> runing on the same server which both need to run something orthogonal >> out of inetd then they still wind up needing to do edits to the same >> config file to get inetd configured correctly. > > Not exactly (and I think you're overusing the term orthogonal). :) I think what i really need to do is dig deeper to find truly orthogonal config in /etc/rc.conf. I realized after i posted that i was mixing up inetd settings of /etc/rc.conf and /etc/inetd.conf settings (the latter could really use being busted up int /etc/inetd.d or just using xinetd -- i'm guessing i'll probably find a bikeshed about xinetd if i search the archives though since i can't be the first person to suggest that...) >> I'd rather see >> /etc/rc.config.d/app01 and /etc/rc.config.d/app02 both able to tweak >> inetd settings. Of course there is the possibility that app01 and app02 >> could drop mutually conflicting inetd setttings, but you've got that >> problem anyway in the existing scheme... > > I think this'd be great, I can't wait to see your patches. :) I'll be diving in canada over the three day weekend, so we'll have to see how much i care about this issue a week from now...
