The win4lin init script is stored in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ instead of /etc/init.d/. This prevents it from being easily controlled with rc-update. On my system, at least, Win4Lin is the only script to end up in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. Also, the script is owned by gid 6319 and uid 124 and has mode 660. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge win4lin 2. rc-update add Win4Lin default 3. ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/Win4Lin Actual Results: Init script Win4Lin installed to /etc/rc.d/init.d Expected Results: Init script Win4Lin installed to /etc/init.d Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-win4lin i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2100+ GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gazza.citylink.co.nz/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 oss 3dnow gif jpeg libwww mikmod nls png quicktime berkdb svga tcltk java guile X gpm tcpd pam perl python imlib qt motif -mmx -arts -kde -esd alsa apm avi bonobo cdr cjk crypt cups encode evo gb gd gdbm gnome gtk gtk2 gtkhtml ipv6 ldap leim libg++ libgda maildir mbox mozilla mpeg mule mysql ncurses oggvorbis opengl pdflib postgres readline sdl slang spell ssl truetype xml xml2 xmms xv zlib smooth" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"

Hmm I swear that link wasn't there. I had to create it my self (and change the perms on /etc/rc.d/init.d/Win4Lin). I see that the ln command is included in the pkg_config() of win4lin-4.0.16.ebuild. That's good enough for me. I probably skipped that step somehow. I did at least the last few steps by hand. Thanks.
nothing, if u still havin gproblems you know...
