I agree with this, but the scripts are installed into /etc. I proposed to move them somewhere, e.g. to /sbin/rc* or to /libexec/rc*. If moved first, then the proposed change would be much more logical and probably easier to fit into the workflows of FreeBSD consumers. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
