I did read init.c, it didn't help. But my tests have shown that things are willing to run in place of init, but, stdout/stderr/stdin are unavailable to init? I assume this is some kind of security thing. freopen() has failed me here. === Wow, what chatter. === === It is obvious that you have not

Hi, I've tried other resources, even reading the source for init, but I can't seem to locate the magic that makes /sbin/init the approved init. I'm porting my init system Epoch to BSD for personal reasons, and I'd like it to work under OpenBSD, which I've been enjoying as of late. I come from the l
