Ahhh.... In fact — this very example I was referring to was a change
in /etc/inittab only eight days after I changed from Red Hat 6.1 to
Debian 2.2r3, so you’re absolutely correct. I found the change
described in my CVS log for that file and it made sense at that time.
Seems as it’s only an old habit from the RH days which didn’t have any
effect at all. ☺ Well, well.
