Re: debian init.d scripts



This is explained on the following web page:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch10.html#s-sysvinit


I am new to Debian, but as I understand it, Debian is working to reduce
the number of scripts that you have to edit.  The scripts reference
configuration files (in /etc).  You don't edit the scripts; you just
edit the configuration files.

I was trying to configure some network stuff, and I was reading the
Running Debian book on the O'Reilly web site.  The book was written for
Debian 2.1, and described how I needed to edit some scripts to get my
network going.  Well, I'm running 2.2, and it turned out that I just
needed to edit a single config file in /etc and I was done.  Cool.
