Thanks for the reminder. I didn't make any changes to that file because
there weren't any [/test lines in it, and there were enough oddities that I
felt like I'd be better off leaving it alone. Someone with more knowledge
about it and more ability to test the results could probably do some good
there.

I am not opposed to this change, however A) It's fairly huge, B) It's
extremely controversial, given that it makes us more like SysV, and C) I
don't care enough about it to fight the requisite battles. If I _were_
inclined to do something like this I'd start small, and start submitting
patches. Personally I kind of like some of the scripts sun has where you
can do 'nfs_script start' or 'nfs_script stop', etc. It makes things easier
on long-running systems.
Thanks for your feeback,
Doug
