Here is the package name from RedHat: $ rpm -qf /sbin/init SysVinit-2.85-4.2 I don't know if there is a ready port but it should be not THAT difficult to do. >I don't think it would be too hard to create a shell wrapper script though >(kind of annoying I admit) Well, it's been a long story now. Every time someone comes with the idea of adding init to BSD, other people feel very strongly that they hate init and that it must not be in BSD. -SB
