Re: debian init.d scripts
rc.S is for system-required scripts iirc... networking is started up there
instead of at the rc.[123456] level, so it ensures you have network
connnectivity in all runlevel modes... well except for singleuser of
course. course i'm probably wrong about that. 's been some time since i
mucked with my init scripts...
