References: Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG :> Now we have /etc/defaults/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf, and /etc/rc.conf.local. :> Considerably less simple and quite unobvious. : :Erm... I thought that the point of /etc/defaults/rc.conf was that one :wouldn't touch it, and only work with rc.conf? : :(Haven't looked at the change myself, as my test machine is dead at the :moment) : :melange@yip.org - Shave A Tree Today! (TM) Yah... kinda like nobody is supposed to touch /etc/rc, eh? /etc/rc - no touchee /etc/rc.conf - no touchee /etc/rc.local - touchees /etc/rc.conf.local - touchees That seems pretty obvious to me. I'm still partial to my /etc/rc.conf.N idea, where /etc/rc.conf.0 is a no-touchee and /etc/rc.conf.9 is the 'user can do whatever he wants with this file' touchee. The site configurator would mess with /etc/rc.conf.2. A post-install gui configurator would mess with either /etc/rc.conf.2 or /etc/rc.conf.3. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
