Debian definitely does. As a general rule, though, it's worth keeping in the back of your head that /etc/default contains instructions on whether to start certain daemons at boot time -- e.g., /etc/default/rsync contains an option on whether to start rsyncd, or just to enable the client. Knowing about /etc/default would have saved me a good deal of time earlier on. Actually, I knew about it; it just didn't register in my head. Keep it in yours, and all will be well. -- Stephen R.
