SuSE Linux does this (/etc/rc.config for system-wide entries, /etc/rc.config.d/* for specific subsystems). It works fairly well aside from having to run a program to propagate entries. (Although that actually is something of a feature, since there's almost always an entry to tell SuSEconfig to leave the real files alone instead of propagating, so you can run things the old way if you want or if you can't DTRT using the rc.config entries.) Also, I think they borrowed this setup from DU / OSF/1. -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] [EMAIL PROTECTED] system administrator [WAY too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
