Subject: [9fans] rc scripts in /386/bin/aux
Date: Tue,  9 Aug 2011 15:24:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dbf351c577fa9336d0de898880908f55@orthanc.ca> (raw)

I was surprised to stumble across a handful of rc scripts in
/386/bin/aux.  Shouldn't this directory contain only 386 binary
executables?  With the exception of the vmware script, none of these
are specific to the 386 hardware platform in any way.

Shouldn't we have an /rc/bin/aux directory and do a 'bind -a
/rc/bin/aux /bin/aux' at the appropriate point during bootup?

The candidates for relocation are cropmarks, grabit, hardcopy, and
vmware.
