I didn't mean I didn't like his patch. I'm sure it does the right thing as far as it goes. It's just that /etc/init.d/functions is obsolete, and should be replaced with an empty file so that people stop thinking it's useful :-). It shouldn't be removed until all the packages that source it have been updated not to do so, or they'll all fall over. (None of them actually *use* any of the functions in it.) Ian.
