If I try to start an idleout daemon by putting it in the initialization
scripts the process /bin/sh /etc/rc won't exit after the boot is
complete. Anybody know why this happens and how I can fix it?
Also, thanks to those who replied to my request for help with
the Colorado Memory Systems tape drive. I managed to get a driver
from CMS, but I'm not very happy with it. Unless I use the drive
in single user mode even a simple tar will occasionally lock up
unpredictably. And the driver adds 100K to the size of the kernel!
I recommend you stay away from CMS unless you're willing to write
your own driver.
