It should probably not go in /etc/init.d unless it could be called with init file syntax on its own and do something appropriate. If it fits the general format of setting shell variables, /etc/default may be appropriate. If not, perhaps /etc/<package>/init.sh or some such. In any case, it should be in /etc, it should be a conffile, and its purpose should be clear from its pathname. -- - mdz
