Description Dima Tisnek 2005-10-28 06:24:29 UTC

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!
