I think that trying to CONFIG_PROTECT these is a _very_ bad idea. They are part of baselayout, and pretty much go hand-in-hand with the /etc/init.d and /lib/rcscripts scripts. If a new version of baselayout is merged with an old functions.sh, you risk ending up with an essentially unbootable system. If you don't want those modified, mask out newer versions of baselayout in /etc/portage/package.mask. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
