Sounds like a good enough reason to me to port the newer NetBSD LFS code

I agree. I first ran into this on solaris.

We have gone to some pains in the past to make the rc.d scripts silent.
Either work or fail silently.
if [ -x ... ]; do
...
done
Now, with the addition of the start/stop, there is a message output if
the argument is not 'start' or 'stop'.
The default should be 'start'. These scripts a

Quickie question:
By implementing the 'start' and 'stop' in the local scripts, how much
should one _expect_ their systems bootup and slow down times to take?
I'm hearing whines of being to linux like, to sysv'ish and some likely
valid complaints on startup/shutdown time.
I, for one, like the f

Moin,
sorry for the late notice, I forgot to mail this yesterday.

${local_startup} with the `stop' option. This allows packages like
databases to call their own shutdown methods and clean up after
themselves. All the ports have
