| Also, the man-page is not too clear about signals:
|  "Only signals that are being ignored are passed on to programs run by rc"
| The should read "signals that are being caught", I guess.

 The manpage is correct as written; caught signals are not passed on to
children, and revert to default behavior. Only ignored signals are passed
on to children.

 If one thinks about how catching signals works, it becomes obvious that
this has to be that way.
