/usr/local seems an odd place to put the scripts --- all the other startup scripts are in /etc. In addition a single /usr (and presumably /usr/local) partition may be mounted on many machines of the same architecture even though they do completely different things, and thus startup different services. Perhaps having an init.d.local or similar, with the exact same use as the existing init.d directory (ie, to store startup scripts, which are then symlinked to from /etc/rcS.d or /etc/rc1.d, or wherever), but reserved for the local sysadmin. But it should definitely be under /etc, not elsewhere. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
