It's a left over from the old bsd-like boot procedure.
Some people have asked me to re-instate it, but I'd
like some input on when it should be executed. Should
it be executed after the /etc/init.d/boot script, or
as the last step before going multiuser? It depends
on your setup, I think. It's easy enough to add a
call to the /etc/init.d/boot script, or to insert
an extra /etc/init.d/rclocal script that calls it,
but then again, why not put your stuff directly there
instead of in the /etc/rc.local file?
I'd like some feedback on this issue.
Mike.
