If you look at the ssh devs distribution OpenBSD, sshd's rc config is a |
| 10 |
one liner basically of simply enable or provide command line arguments. |
| 11 |
Key checking is part of the OS startup script which is beautifully easy |
| 12 |
to read and follow through to shutdown. |

The turing complete language as oppose to the increased pid1 of systemd |
| 15 |
is a theoretical fallacy where bugs can be immediately fixed with a |
| 16 |
text editor or swapping the constantly tested but admittedly |
| 17 |
complex shell code. Note though that init does not require a shell or |
| 18 |
Turing complete language at all or anything else making it appropriate |
| 19 |
in it's various forms to all cases. Ironically this variation can be |
| 20 |
seen as unifying unix communities. What would be good is a common |
| 21 |
agreement on the format or sysadmins equivelent to API of controlling a |
| 22 |
universally applicable init system. |
