The thing is, I do use them which is why I went to the trouble of 
setting them up to begin with.  I actually use them pretty regular.  
Just because others don't use them doesn't mean that I don't or shouldn't.

I tried to use them is how I figured out it didn't work anymore.  That 
alone shows that I use them for various reasons.  This update is less 
than a week old and I already found out that this doesn't work anymore.  
I just want to figure out how it works with openrc which it appears no 
one has a answer and the docs are wrong as well.

Thanks.
