Description Alexander Skwar 2004-10-26 11:08:35 UTC
The file /etc/conf.d/net of baselayout-1.11.3 contains:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d.  To create a more complete configuration,
# see /etc/conf.d/net.example and put your configuration in this file.

I'm "concerned" about the last line. It's not perfectly clear: Is a user supposed to put stuff in the file net.example? Most certainly not, but the wording isn't as clear as it should be; the "this" could mean /etc/conf.d/net.example and also the file the user is currently reading (ie. /etc/conf.d/net).

Better:

# see /etc/conf.d/net.example and put your configuration in /etc/conf.d/net
