Sounds good. I just setup runit stage 2 with SysVinit and forkserver. The stable 1.0.5 installs and works fine with i386 Linux, but I couldn't get it to install on my x86_64 Linux. The x86_64 RPMs I've seen all use later development versions. Are development versions used in production? I put up a quick page on the wiki for runit, http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/runit , with the urls Gordon mentiond. Feel free to comment and update. John
