26 I can tell you from trying that just now... that is not a good
27 solution.

29 First setting rc_coldplug="no" has some very bad effects:
30 1) caused my KVM switch setup to be ignored completely, where as with
31 with the default "yes" the kvm is recognized soon as I get past
32 grub
33
34 2) Very strange behavior with the `screen' tool. I call screen and
35 get started but if I do `C-a c' (which should start another screen)
36 Instead it prompts me to login and then takes the original screen
37 so I can only get one screen, completely defeating the purpose of
38 `screen'.

41 I'm also wondering about the wisdom introduciing some esoteric places
42 to control services. If someone needs sophisticated controls they can
43 set that up, but for the rest of us /etc/conf.d and rc-update should
44 be THE central tools to have basic services started at boot.
45
46 There should be nothing scrolling thru the network softlinks
47 attempting to start anything it finds.
