> There is a file like: /usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.95/sysconfig.txt > that explains the sysconfig files. but my point was that that file is noticeably lacking in documentation for a *number* of possible files that might appear in /etc/sysconfig. the example i gave was /etc/sysconfig/nfs, which is sourced from the startup file /etc/init.d/nfs, but is not mentioned in that doc file. personally, i don't think this is a horrific problem since i can appreciate how many services might want to have a config file in /etc/sysconfig and that it would be impossible to keep up with all of them. i just wondered if there was alternative documentation on a per-service basis, since i've found nothing that explains what might go in, for example, /etc/sysconfig/nfs, short of reading the startup code. rday
