> It's a subtle point, granted. [Picking nits here] Picking "demon" names to describe "daemons" only seems to be a good choice if they are closely related. Either it's a poorly descriptive name or you *do* believe they are the same. (Note: this now has nothing to with BSD. I'm just saying it's either a bad choice for a name or they are, for the purposes by which you think the name descriptive, "the same").
