I believe if /var/run wasn't cleaned during boot, you have a problem elsewhere. It is supposed to be removed during boot by /etc/init.d/mountnfs-bootclean.sh, I believe. Personally I would recommend using tmpfs for /var/run, but have not spent any time to try to push this project-wide. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
