i would suggest examining the structure in RedHat 5.2 there is a SysV-style structure with single place where all the "per subsystem" configuration state lives, *mostly*. the network config stuff isn't well integrated, but the other stuff seems reasonably so. to my mind, the happy medium lies somewhere between the current thing and the RedHat model. while i at first didn't like "run levels", in fact, FreeBSD has a more sophisticated notion in that there is kernel support for various security implications. but being able to turn XDM on and off with a simple command to switch the run-level is very, very nice. and the fact the system shuts things down in a somewhat more orderly fashion is a nice feature as well. for what it's worth -mo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
