Well, years i used, NetBSD and their rc.d scripts are quite usefull...
Is there any specific reason why OpenBSD does not place startup scripts
under rc.d? As long as administrator does not insert ie; service=YES
flag into rc.conf, service not activated.
Because our total rc script is 816 lines, and our netstart script is
397 lines, and they do more than theirs?
There are very specific solid reasons. When you split the script into
a multitude of scripts, it takes about 3 days before people fuck it up
so that syslogd or portmap or something else gets started in the wrong
place and some type of install does not work.
Ooops, i would expect people (who somehow use any-bsd) to be more
familir to rc.d :)
Thanks for clarification.
