Well, in the BSD system there is no concept of runlevels. You're either single-user mode or multi-user mode. In our case, I still think runlevels should be managed as usual, via the rc directories. The rc.conf thing, I think, would be more like a global override, so that no matter what rc?.d looks like, the daemon will not be started if $daemon_enable=NO is found in /etc/rc.conf. Basically, I just want a sane and standard way of doing what sshd and postgresql (and undoubtedly others) already do. I don't want to replace how we manage runlevels. > so we need one user-editable file per runlevel and need to source the right > one, which in turn sources the default? i don't rely like that. No, I wouldn't like that either, and I don't think it'd solve the problem. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
