I have to emphasize that YOU SHOULD NOT EDIT THE INITSCRIPT YOURSELF. The warning is just that: a warning. Keep your system up-to-date, and the warning will sooner or later go away (when the relevant package has been updated by the maintainer). To see which files still use "opts", enter: grep "^[[:space:]]*opts=" /etc/init.d/* | cut -d : -f 1 | grep -v "\\.sh$" And to see which packages use the offending initscript: grep "^[[:space:]]*opts=" /etc/init.d/* | cut -d : -f 1 | grep -v "\\.sh$" | xargs qfile -CSq | uniq (Both command snippets taken from this post in f.g.o : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6850360.html#6850360 ) Rgds, -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ • LOPSA Member #15248 • Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com • Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan
