- Eh, why do you want an additional file influencing totally
- unrelated files? To repeat my argument: /etc/netstart already contains
- flag variables that control starting/not-starting of certain daemons. It
- would be very easy (and consistent) to add other flags to control other
- daemons, you might even add a master "no_net" variable that turns all the
- others off. If you make the default "no_net", everyone should be able
- to use the system, as to make it usable for network access, you *have*
- to edit some files anyway. For example, in netstart, you have to set
- your hostname, domainname, you have to enable the interfaces available
- in your system. It comes natural, that doing that, you also enable the
- network. No need for a separate file, really.
