emerging initng installs 4 "named pipe" files in /etc prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 16:00 /etc/initng/in prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 16:00 /etc/initng/out prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 16:00 /etc/initng/in-test prw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 16:00 /etc/initng/out-test the consequence is that commands like 'grep -r something /etc' never finish. dunno if it's just a 'bad taste' kind of issue or a real issue, annoys me though!
initng has a bugzilla, please file a bug there and report back
