Yes, but IMO it's unnecessary and undesireable because it takes one away from the knowing what's in the bootscripts--which is reasonably important. I know these files are ubiquitous, but it creates "distance" from the actual configuration. (As inittab took me away from the agetty configuration parameter.) They are useful up to a point, and where that is, YMMV. I decided not to use rc.site in my init rewrite. > Maybe you want it before Sysklogd has been installed, or you don't > want to have to go look at a logfile? The latter.
