But the NetBSD style is exactly as easy to administer as the FreeBSD
style. It is more modular and easy to expand after the boot. How do
I start nfs on FreeBSD after it boots? Well, you grep it out of
/etc/rc*. With the NetBSD style, it is as simple as '/etc/rc.d/nfsd
start'
It isn't SysV RC style. It is BSD style taken to its logical next
step. All the knobs for this are still in a central location, so you
don't have to make sure you get the hardlinks right.
