I'd really apreciate one thing. I've noticed an extreme and virulent allergy some folks have to doing the startup tasks ala SVR4 style. I do know that style. Can one of you tell me if there's any strong reason against doing things in that mode, other than simple prejudice? I'm perfectly willing to take an argument in either direction, but I have seen lots of attacks on the SVR4 method, that often end up on a shaggy dog story about some 3rd system. I don't understand this, and I'd really like to. BTW, I'm not talking about SVR4 init, or inittab, just the system of rc.0, rc.1, etc, and the S and K files, for startup and shutdown. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
