You are partially right. GNU/Hurd doesn't use sysvinit *yet*. If I understand it correctly, people are porting sysvinit to GNU/Hurd. Perhaps it was already done. The bug report you showed us seems to confirm this. In the emails it is said that the patch (I assume there is a patch, I haven't read all of it :)) will add GNU/Hurd support. Better ask the people who ported sysvinit, Robert and Guillem (IIRC). > Okay, anyway, if the hurd doesn't use sysvinit then I only need to > bother with kFreeBSD.

We just have to wait for Robert to answer your emails. I've added a CC to Robert, IIRC he does not read this mailinglist lately. Thanks, Marco
