If it is a problem of init script, then it is problem in gentoo. Init scripts are distribution specific (at last, gentoo has different ones that other distros AFAIK). So, if you think it is a bug, put it into bugzilla. In the best case, someone will do something about it. In the worst case, the bug will be marked as invalid, wontfix, or something like that. Just don't get annoyed if someone simply tells it is nonsense, the people going trough bugs have too many of them and they are not always completely nice. -- BOFH Excuse #430: Mouse has out-of-cheese-error Michal 'vorner' Vaner
