I like to have ALL of the files in one directory. That way I can "grep ntpd /etc/rc*" and find ALL the line that are likely to affect it. Moving some of the files into another directory just complicates things. I like the idea of having all the "default knobs" in one file. I recommend /etc/rc.conf.defaults On Tue, 9 Feb 1999, Jordan K.
