Hi. I'm a BSD idiot I use [Debian] linux. rc.d question I'm trying to release a project (just below) to the widest possible unix audience. I need a line in "/etc/inittab" and to have a start/stop in "/etc/rc.d", nothing unusual I think. I read many freeBSD rc.d materials and it only convinced me as much as I'd learned: if I'm not running BSD I don't know enough to talk about it :) I'm not sure how a real BSD hacker would place a "simple start stop". Not where or how, not even after reading the docs. Also I'm not sure the project is good enough to warrant further testing / if the casual user might save time / effort with it. Tell me what you think if you have time! Who doesn't want feedback? http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/ (second has httpS) (xdm sample scripts but "complete / round trip". chooser, login, desktop chooser, xdm server: by menu with no hacking required on any unix, saving the casual xdm interested person time in use or setup, is my hope) ... it uses no libs at all If anyone would like to quickly comment I'd love to hear why bsd would be a better choice than ubantu (for what audience it is better). Thanks all, John
