Gentoo has something similar and now that I think about it the only reason this is needed is because the display manager is started by init, not by openrc. Openrc understands virtual services so metalog, syslog and syslog-ng can all provide the "logger" service and other services can depend on "logger" instead of a particular logging program. Since there's no way to represent this in /etc/inittab the hacks are necessary for the display manager service if you're using sysvinit. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
