Also, putting init scripts in /usr/local does not make any sense at all
(unless you happen to own an Lintendo) - cf. DJB's explation of why he
chose /var.

I find it quite interesting that although DJB himself uses OpenBSD, none
of the 3rd party docs deal with it (adding users and groups is certainly
different from even FreeBSD). Mind you, this is not a critique of LWQ:
great piece of documentation. Rather, it's a suggestion for a possible
enhancement. Add to that a section about SysV under SuSE Linux as
described by Erwin Hoffmann.
