Not really for me to say - we don't use the b/lfs '/etc/sysconfig' type of setup (as find it far too indirect; & we use ~bsd-style (auto-generated from a simple direct spec)). But as a general point, if (IIUIC) the current practice for 'services/pppoe' is an outlier and out-of-sync with ~everything-else using '/lib/services', and if the latter is a sensible idea, then I guess making pppoe the same would be sensible, so long as there's no big gotchas. But really best of course for '/etc/sysconfig'-style users to decide. I was just meaning to (side-)comment, with initial message, on the mooted further disappearance of rp-pppoe from b/lfs, 's all. rgds, akh > Pierre > -- > -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
