That's not how it works. The files in /etc/conf.d are not "included" in config files at all, they are arguments used when the app is launched. For example, sshd: SSHD_CONFDIR="/etc/ssh" SSHD_OPTS="" SSHD_PIDFILE="/var/run/sshd.pid" SSHD_BINARY="/usr/sbin/sshd" None of those items can go in sshd_config except maybe the pid file, but that can be specified on the command-line. The Gentoo init system reads conf.d and uses the info in it to determine hwo to launch the app. There is other stuff in /etc/conf.d not related to specific daemons, but the same principle applies - the system reads the files and does the appropriate thing at strat-up. I believe you may have the intent of conf.d and env.d confused? -- Alan McKinnnon [email protected]
