Scott, Couple of reasons for duplicating the init scripts: 1) They are simple and shouldn't change too often so having two copies shouldn't add much overhead. 2) Debian uses a logging function (log_daemon_msg) that doesn't exist in RHEL. 3) We could have a single set of scripts that works for multiple distros but my concern is that everytime a change is made the scripts need to be tested against all supported distros to make sure nothing breaks. IMHO that's more work than maintaining separate copies.
