something like that, yes. the idea is that rc scripts may have unique
environment requirements of their own, which are not necessarily the same as
those for login shells, or ssh or rsh sessions, or anything else, so if all
the rc scripts do a '. /etc/init.d/rc-env' which is easy to do they are
guaranteed the "right" environment, which is decided in one place -- so i
guess the answer is yes, exactly to defragment the environment for the
init.d scripts.
