Other than it's system V and everything AT^HUSL did is evil, of course. runlevels are a very oldfashioned way to think about things, I don't want to have one big button which is called "NETWORKING ON/OFF". runlevels let you do more than just run gettys, control networking, and run /sbin/rc?.d scripts.

Well, the one danger is that we'd be slowly drifting away from the classic BSD way of doing thigs. Of course, the official BSD is dead (right?). But OTOH, we want to carry FreeBSD forward, so if that means we have to incorporate some SysVisms, then so be it. After all, SysV borrowed some things from BSD. The second question I have is, do we try to stay on par with what Open/NetBSD are doing? Should we stick together, synchronise our efforts, and try to define what comprises "BSD"? Or, do we let the 3 BSDs diverge completely? Well, if the 3 diverge too far (ex: FreeBSD implements SysV runlevels, OpenBSD does not or goes with an entirely different system), them would it be fair to consider FreeBSD "BSD"? The advantage here is that FreeBSD would mature into it's own type of UNIX with a BSD heritage. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Anyone who is interested in following up on anything whatsoever to do with SysV runlevels should first familiarize themselves with the numerous problems they have which have been hashed out on the lists several times over the last 12 months (hint: to to the mail archive search engine at www.freebsd.org and search for "runlevel"). - mark -- Mark Newton Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (W) Network Engineer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82232999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
