It is correct, as shown by the following command: zira:~> dlocate etc/rc.local initscripts: /etc/rc.local Ditto with "apt-file search etc/rc.local". > You can claim that using rc.local is a bad practice, This is not what I'm saying.

Note that the user might want to install later a package that would depend on it, and things could break in obscure ways. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
