I'm a tad confused about the purpose of /etc/rc. It says its used for the control of daemons and starting and stopping them. Does this mean its replacing the daemons array or something? And with the starting and stopping of daemons... is this for automation or something.
The news page doesn't really offer that much explanation about this new file.
I'm not sure but it sounds like the service command Ubuntu (I don't know about Debian) uses. The syntax is pretty simple: service ssh start starts /etc/init.d/sshd. I haven't used /sbin/rc yet but I feel it works the same way. It won't affect the daemons array, it's just a way of starting, restarting and stopping daemons whilst the system is running. -- Rafael Beraldo http://devio.us/~rberaldo/
