I think that's to be expected - as you point out noone else uses a symbolic naming scheme so some of the usual Linux tools are not "aware" of it. (But that's always the case when transitioning from one way of doing things to another). I could point to old BSD boxes and show how having umpteen rc.* files in /etc is pretty damn confusing especially if you're trying to figure out how to startup a service. As an example, its only recently that certain BSDs started using a central /etc/rc.d folder for startup scripts - took 'em long enough to realize that this was probably a good idea all along and that its OK to borrow from the SysV world now and then :-) -- -- [email protected] mailing list
